Snickers Workwear – Superior, Ergonomic Knee Protection With D30®.

World-leading certified Kneeguard™ solutions to save your knees.

Hard work all day, every day means that some craftsmen and craftswomen put more pressure on their knees than many top athletes. So, the risk of long-term knee injuries and chronic pain can be far higher among trade professionals than most other occupations. 

First Finland order for Hart Doors

Hart Door Systems, the Newcastle upon Tyne-based specialist engineering company, has received its first order from Finland for its fast-action, security baggage-handling doors.

The order, for sixty security doors for check-in desks, is for Helsinki’s international airport, the largest in Finland which handles 20m passengers a year flying by a choice of 26 airlines to 135 destinations.

“This is excellent news for our staff. Over the Covid period we have won nine contracts for Airports from Hong Kong to Helsinki and in the UK Inverness and Sumburgh, Shetland Isles,” says Nick Hart, Hart’s managing director.

“We anticipate more export orders before the year-end. This shows our focus on design excellence for security doors and necessary product testing to comply with the requirements of very busy infrastructure projects such as airports, is paying off. To date over 800 Hart doors have been supplied in nearly 40 airports around the world.”

Hart Doors has completed another contract at the Wimbledon Traincare depot, the traction maintenance depot servicing South Western Railway. 

Peter Cairns, Hart’s Area Sales Manager, says there are several Hart doors on site already. “This depot is one of the busiest in the country, with an average of 250 carriages maintained there each night. We have several Speedors on site some of which were nearly 30 years old,” says Mr Cairns.

The latest contract was to replace the ageing Speedors in this very busy depot with Hart’s highly energy efficient, Insulated Roller Shutters.  “The installation was challenging requiring specific bracketing and in-fills for the new doors,” adds Mr Cairns. 

Remote, but not out of touch – how to manage on site contractors while social distancing

As COVID-19 has reached pandemic stage, our daily lives are changing quickly.

All the advice is sensible, stay safe, stay home if unwell or returning from affected areas, and work from home if you can. With a vaccine potentially still a year away, this way of working could become the new normal. As the health of the population is prioritised how will the health of your building fare?

In the UK there are currently hundreds of lone workers working in explosive environments. As well as being surrounded by potential hazards such as gas/fume leaks, explosions, electrical hazards, and trip and slip hazards, these personnel are often working at unsocial hours. Protection for lone workers working within such environments is of paramount importance, but is often overlooked.

Legislation does not prohibit lone working in a general sense, but companies and organisations must conduct a risk assessment covering the activities of all employees, including lone workers. Since the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act of 2007, companies and organisations can be found guilty of corporate manslaughter as a result of serious management failures resulting in a gross breach of duty of care. 

Fluidwell introduces the F119 Totalizer with receipt printer driver linearization, analog and pulse outputs

The F119 is an advanced Totalizer with the unique function to send a “print receipt”-command to a printer. The configurable ticket printing can be set for daily totals (at contract hour) or delivery tickets. 

The display shows simultaneous linearized flow rate and total, as well as accumulated total, daily total and 15 previous day totals. The F119 provides very precise linearization of the flow meter signal. In addition to the average K-Factor, fifteen linearization points can be entered. This enhances the accuracy in the full flow range, even for very low frequencies.

No more pipe cleaning and steaming

Inline tools like the Enerpac MITT series create a positive seal against the inside of a pipe for vapour-barriers during hot work and/or for pressure testing new welds during maintenance operations.

Cleaning and steaming can be eliminated since pipes do not have to be completely gas free. Inline tools provide sealing capability with the ability to monitor throughout hot work activities via hydrostatic pressure. They also provide venting capabilities with the ability to monitor upstream pressure build up.

New Enerpac MITT Series Mechanical Isolation & Test Tools cut downtime for Oil and Gas pipe welding 

The new Enerpac MITT series provides a safe and efficient method for inline pipe isolation and localised pressure testing of new welds during oil and gas pipe maintenance.

By eliminating the need for traditional chemical cleaning and system hydrotesting, the MITT series tools streamline the implementation and testing of pipe modifications, significantly reducing plant downtime.
