AUMA extends SIL
solutions
BSRIA Instrument Solutions applauds
the BOHS Breathe Freely Initiative
TÜV certification achieved by AUMA
confirms that the company’s SQ .2 part-turn
actuators, SA .2 multi-turn actuators and AC
.2 actuator controls in SIL version comply
with the highest safety requirements. The
actuators have achieved full latest IEC
61508 edition 2 certification and are approved for safety-related systems up
to SIL 3 (for redundant system architecture). The TÜV certification also applies
to low temperature versions for temperatures ranging from -60° C to +60° C.
The safety function of AUMA’s SIL actuators can be configured with different
seating criteria, including forced limit or torque seating to protect the mechanical
integrity of the valve. If required by the application, different seating criteria for
the safety function and standard actuator functionality can be set.
The initiative underpins AUMA’s commitment to comply with the industry’s
highest safety standards.

Instrument Solutions, a key supplier of
products into the Health & Safety market has
applauded the newly launched Breathe Freely
collaborative initiative, designed to prevent
occupational lung disease in the construction
industry. Led by BOHS (The Chartered Society for Worker Health Protection) – in
partnership with key organisations – it will provide guidance, tools and resources that
facilitate the recognition, evaluation and control of workplace exposures leading to the
implementation of a recognised management standard.
The TSI PortaCount Pro+ is part of a portfolio of instruments offered by Instrument
Solutions to ensure users of RPE (Respiratory Protection Equipment) are safe in the
workplace. It is complimented with instruments such as background dust monitors
including the recently released TSI environmental DustTrak that can be used to
monitor ambient levels of pollutants in external environments with information stored
in the cloud for immediate access anywhere in the world.
The PortaCount Pro+ respirator fit tester is used for the testing of full facemasks,
SCBAs, respirators including disposables (P1 and P2 versions).

How robust is your
lockout procedure?
Most industries are aware of the need to
isolate machinery during maintenance and
cleaning but in many case the processes and
procedures can be inconsistent or worse non-existent.
“We speak to many companies that know they need to lockout but haven’t got
the knowledge or expertise to implement a robust program,” David Wheatcroft
from Reece Safety Products explained. “With our support they quickly realise that
implementing a structured program is not complicated and can be achieved with
limited investment in time and money.”
Eric Newton from RJS Engineering said: “When we realised we needed to
improve our lockout procedure I called Reece and met with David to discuss
our detailed requirements. Whilst we already had a good idea of what we were
looking to achieve we received excellent advice from Reece and they supported
us throughout the design process. The end result is a lockout policy that we are
now rolling out across all of our three plants.”
