E2S adds SIL 2 compatibility to its horn and strobe families

Safety Integrity Level, SIL, is a measure of safety system performance expressed in terms of probability of failure on demand (PFD). In the oil and gas industry, particularly in the fire and gas detection systems where safety integrity is critical, SIL 2 is becoming a common standard across systems. To meet the growing demand in the oil & gas industry, E2S Warning Signals, the leading independent audible and visible warning device manufacturer, (Read More) 

New iWAP107 - Releasing Wi-FI efficiency in Hazardous Area

The new iWAP107 system allows the latest MIMO Access Points from market leaders such as Cisco and Aruba to be easily deployed in Zone 1 hazardous areas, improving wireless performance and reliability. The system employs Extronics unique iSOLATE500 RF galvanic isolators which makes all RF outputs intrinsically safe. This allows standard non-certified antennas to be used; greatly reducing cost whilst providing significant performance gains. (Read More)

REDUCED MANUAL HANDLING FOR SAFER BATTERY MANAGEMENT

Batteries for lift trucks and other motive power applications are usually chosen on the basis of their performance and whole life costs but for many operators an increasingly important factor is the safe handling of their power sources.

Making the right choices can help improve sustainability and health and safety compliance. (Read More) 

Purpose Designed Hoists Are Suitable For Heavy Duty Underwater Operation

Lifting and handling products manufactured by the J D Neuhaus company are engineered for performance, reliability and longevity when operating in extreme environments of dirt, dust, high humidity, and even potentially explosive atmospheres.

Some of the toughest and more unusual conditions are currently experienced by today’s underwater aquanauts. Divers are very often working alone, in conditions of variable depth water pressures and (Read More)
