Now that we have started to issue UKCA ‘Ex’ Certication, some of the problems facing equipment manufacturers are starting to be raised and addressed. One of the first issues that was apparent was the use of ATEX (only) certified parts within or as part of a UKCA Certification, for example, ATEX Ex e terminals within and UKCA Ex e Junction Box. The solution to this is a ‘time limited certification!

Each year, 22 million workers are exposed to potentially damaging workplace noise making occupational hearing loss one of the most common work-related illnesses. Because of this, ear defenders are a key component of the safety equipment of those workers exposed to noise and have therefore been moved from Category II to III in the new Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Regulation (EU) 2016/425.
With years of experience in safety solutions for workers, MSA has designed the new V-Gard Helmet Mounted Hearing Protection Line. A first in this class ear protection, the new V-Gard Helmet Mounted Hearing Protection Line combines superior performance and enhanced comfort with upgrades in fit and style without compromising the quality desired by employees working in noisy environments.
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact every aspect of our lives, including the ways in which we enhance our Continuing Professional Development (CPD). One significant impact that COVID-19 has had on learning and development is the number of people signing up to undertake or refresh their Asbestos Awareness training, with course uptake experiencing considerably lower numbers than usual.
While the risk posed by degradation of asbestos-containing materials may have increased due to less maintenance being undertaken in buildings over the course of the national and regional lockdowns, the risk of actual human exposure may have subsequently decreased as a result of lower occupancy. Therefore, once these properties begin to return to normal levels of occupancy the risk of exposure potentially increases.
The public and medical/emergency services need an efficient and standardised method to find out the chemical composition and response with exposure to hazardous goods that the public can freely purchase - a mandatory QR code on the product label to the manufacturers MSDS would address this issue.

iFROG, an amphibious robot capable of working in teams to clean and inspect monopiles above water level and up to 60 metres below (~6 bar), has successfully completed trials at the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult’s National Renewable Energy Centre in Blyth.
The multi-robot solution was developed under a three-year project that was funded by Innovate UK and brought together iFROG developer InnoTecUK, ORE Catapult, TWI and Brunel University London. Teams of iFROG robots will be able to clean corrosion and biofouling from monopiles, before inspecting the surfaces and conducting pre-emptive checks of weld integrity.
