FREE stickers help promote aerial safety
AWPT, Inc., the American Work Platform Training subsidiary of IPAF (the International Powered Access Federation), has announced the availability of FREE stickers that, when placed on an aerial work platform (AWP) or mast climbing work platform (MCWP), ask the operator if they have been properly trained in the operation of the equipment. AWPs and MCWPs are not suitable for use by untrained personnel and operator training is required by both OSHA and ANSI Standards prior to equipment use. These stickers will help remind operators that they must first be trained before operating the equipment.

Six Common Bad Assumptions About Hearing Protection
In the world of personal protective equipment, bad assumptions are hazardous and can result in injury — or worse. Yet, despite 25 years of government regulation, a handful of persistent bad assumptions are widespread — endangering both the effectiveness of occupational Hearing Conservation Programs (HCPs) - and worker hearing. A new free, white paper from Howard Leight, "Bad Assumptions about Hearing Protection" provides an insight into the common and potentially dangerous misconceptions associated with hearing protection.

Tips for Green Buildings
Green building, sometimes called sustainable building, is the practice of creating healthier and more resource-efficient models of construction, renovation, operation and maintenance. Sustainable building takes into account the building's entire lifecycle - there could be slightly higher initial costs, but green designs, upgrades and operations create savings that will almost always pay for the added costs, reduce the use of other resources and enhance productivity. Green building practices can help organizations achieve and maintain operational efficiencies that help create a sustainable future for the community, economy and environment. Courtesy of Trane.

Avian Plus Deters Pest Birds with Pleasant Scents
MISSION VIEJO, CA: Bird-B-Gone, Inc. introduces Avian Plus, a bird hazing system that uses natural scents to deter pest birds from enclosed and semi enclosed areas such as airline hangars, warehouses, storage facilities, loading docks, big box stores and more. Avian Plus is a small wall mounted unit that emits a non-toxic, non-allergenic scent into the air that is pleasing to humans, and unbearable to birds. It makes buildings smell good, while keeping pest birds away at the same time. The natural scents make pest birds feel unbalanced - creating an environment they will want to avoid. Avian Plus is ideal for keeping pest birds from roosting or nesting in indoor rafter areas. --- Bird-B-Gone Inc.

Basic Condition Monitoring Kit
SAN DIEGO, CA: The essential measurement tools for assessing the overall performance of machines used in industrial manufacturing plants are now collected in the SKF basic condition monitoring kit (model no. CMAK 400-ML). The SKF basic condition monitoring kit includes tools used to inspect and assess overall machine condition, as well as to test bearings, pumps, motors, compressors and other components that affect machine functionality. The SKF basic condition monitoring kit includes the SKF Machine Condition Advisor (model no. CMAS 100-SL), which measures machine vibration signals and temperature simultaneously to assess bearing condition; the SKF External Sensor Kit (model no. CMAC 105), which is an accessory that includes a magnet to make external vibration analyses on hard-to-reach surfaces more convenient, as well as providing more repeatable and accurate measurements with the SKF Machine Condition Advisor; the SKF Infrared Thermometer (model no. CMSS 3000-SL), which is a dual laser-sighted, non-contact instrument for long-range temperature assessments; and the SKF Inspector 400 Ultrasonic Probe (model no. CMIN 400-K), which measures pressure and vacuum leaks in valve seats and exhaust systems. --- SKF Reliability Systems

Sliding Softwalls Provide Temporary Space Separation
MILWAUKEE, WI: Zoneworks® flexible Sliding Softwalls (or "curtain walls") allow users to easily adapt large interior spaces to gain better environmental control - and/or create separate zones in order to create privacy, improve cleanliness, increase security, contain odors, fumes, dust or noise, and accomplish other key facility management goals. Zoneworks Sliding Softwalls slide open or closed with minimal effort. The result is a convenient and cost-effective way to make the existing space better fit the facility's immediate- and long-term needs and enhance the environment of the people who use it. Made out of heavy-duty industrial vinyl, the flexible curtain walls are custom-designed for each application, allowing users to improve physical space without the cost, permanence or space requirements of rigid walls. Systems can be reconfigured as facility layout or environmental control needs change. A heavy-duty track and trolley system supports the sliding soft walls, which can be easily mounted to existing ceiling structure. --- Zoneworks
