Injuries to fingers and hands rank as the highest of all workplace injuries and are also the most preventable. Laceration injuries can also be incredibly costly both financially and in terms of the quality of life impact. The Occupational Health & Safety Administration based in the US (OHSA) estimates that the combined indirect and direct costs of a laceration injury are £23,700 with downtime, loss of productivity and potential legal costs all contributing to that figure.

Union Industries is proving its efficiency at Jaguar Land Rover’s £500m Engine Manufacturing Centre (EMC) with a significant installation requiring more than 40 of its high speed doors.

The Leeds-based company, which designs, manufactures, installs and maintains its own range of fast acting doors was chosen as Jaguar Land Rover’s preferred supplier due to its doors’ unrivalled durability and proven track record of low through-life-costs.

As companies push the limits of performance in cold climates and harsh sub-zero Arctic environments, demand for strong, safe and well-proven materials is on the rise. Components like pipeline bolts, hydraulic parts and offshore lifting devices must offer greater reliability at -50°C or lower sub-zero temperatures.

Bio-based, safe-to-use Elevance Clean™ 1200 is the new cleaning ingredient that rapidly penetrates your most challenging soils to boost the cleaning performance of your formulations. It is also VOC-exempt* and highly compatible across a range of aqueous to semi aqueous products while being used at neutral pH.

If you’re looking to increase lighting levels in narrow warehouse aisles, the Brighton S LED bay light from Earlsmann could be the ideal solution. In recent trials, the Brighton S units have been shown to create a much brighter environment while also reducing energy consumption by up to 75%.

Earlsmann’s client, a leading plastic moulding manufacturer based in Doncaster, was looking to cut energy costs, reduce maintenance spend and boost its green credentials. Its existing 250W metal halide lighting was using around 300W per fitting, and was in use 24/7. The lighting was used to illuminate 2m-wide aisles, with shelving up to 10m. Warehouse aisle lighting is key to productivity, as good visibility helps to avoid mistakes when selecting items, reduces eye strain and supports a safer working environment.

greenTEG offers high-precision thermal sensors (gSKIN®) for process control and maintenance. greenTEG’s sensors resolve heat flux in the Micro-Watt range and detect temperature gradients down to Nano-Kelvins.

The gSKIN® heat flux sensors measure three types of heat fluxes: conduction, convection, and thermal radiation. They generate an analog voltage signal proportional to the heat flux. The signal can be read out and further processed to monitor processes and conditions.

Powder flow property measurements generally fall into two main categories: dynamic analysis and static analysis. Dynamic instruments measure powder flow properties as the test material is moving or is about to move. Static instruments measure powder that is not moving and typically has been exposed to pressure. For a complete picture of a material’s flow behavior, both types of testers are required. For solving specific flow problems, usually one type of tester or test is required.

It might have escaped your notice (primarily because it wasn’t trumpeted very loudly here in the UK) but Dubai recently overtook London as the busiest international passenger airport in the world, with just over 70 million passenger transits.

Heathrow still outranks Dubai in total passenger volume (Including domestic flights, where Dubai’s score is, to all intents and purposes, zero!) This situation won’t last for very long however, because Dubai is expecting to increase passenger volumes by around 10% in 2015, while Heathrow is already running pretty much at full capacity – about which we will make no comment, political or otherwise.

Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) remain one of the most frequent types of work-related injury across most industry sectors.

Yet, despite efforts to reduce this through legislation and better risk management, it can rarely be eliminated.

Even when the risk is significantly reduced, if an item has to be moved manually, a residual risk remains.

LCM Systems is pleased to announce the launch of a brand new range of ATEX/IECEx certified hazardous area load cells and enclosures.

Many industries need pumps to add small amounts of additives into process lines. These can include aggressive and corrosive chemicals in waste water treatment and in paper production, viscous products such as polymer for water treatment, abrasive lime slurries in sewage sludge treatment and valuable minor ingredients into beverage and food products.

Every year there are thousands of environmental pollution incidents caused by the spillage of materials such as oils, chemicals, trade effluents, sewage and some less obvious but highly polluting substances such milk, beer and yoghurt. Businesses handling, storing, transporting or using liquids as part of a production or manufacturing process all run the risk of experiencing spillage incidents and the consequences of this.

The rate of fluid flow constitutes an important measurement in the processing industries. Selecting an appropriate technology for a flow measurement application can therefore be a daunting task. With such a wide variety of technologies on offer, it can be difficult to find the best one for a particular application. Les Slocombe, for ABB Measurement Products UK, explains how finding the flowmeter that can make the biggest contribution to minimising energy costs can help narrow the selection.
