Educational Pamphlet Details OSHA
Combustible Dust National Emphasis Program
|
In response to frequent questions from powder handling plant
officials regarding the OSHA "Combustible Dust National Emphasis Program
(NEP)", BS&B has created a pamphlet that summarizes the program's key
points. The pamphlet explains housekeeping and equipment measures
required to meet OSHA's program standards, which closely mirror NFPA
standards covering explosion prevention and protection (68-2007,
69-2008, 654-2006). A copy of the pamphlet is available for download.

Video Surveillance Camera Market to be
$1 Billion by 2012
|
Video surveillance in consumer homes promises to drive a new market
for consumer/DIY cameras and remote home monitoring services. Growing
consumer awareness and product offerings will enable the market for
consumer/DIY surveillance cameras to grow to over $1 billion dollars by
2012. The applications driving home video surveillance range from simple
doorbell cameras to remote surveillance and recording services.
Companies are positioning do-it-yourself (DIY) surveillance kits that
include cameras, network adapters, and PC and internet-based monitoring
and recording software. Such systems also allow consumers to monitor
their home remotely over the Internet, or even via their mobile phones.

***Impact™ Sport Sound Amplification
Earmuffs***
|
SMITHFIELD, RI: Howard Leight has introduced a new ultraslim sound
amplification earmuff specifically designed for use in intermittent and
impact noise environments. Impact™ Sport sound amplification
earmuffs incorporate high-tech patented electronics that amplify ambient
sounds up to a safe 82 dBA, while at the same time providing NRR 22
protection against hazardous noise. This allows wearers to stay
connected with their environment while their hearing is protected.
Designed for increased comfort during long-term wear, Impact Sport
earmuffs feature a padded leatherette headband that is easily adjustable
for a secure, non-slip fit. Ultraslim earcups eliminate the bulk of
traditional electronic earmuffs, enhancing comfort over the work day. A
convenient folding design allows easy storage in a pocket or in a belt
storage case, available separately. ---Howard Leight Industries by

***Voice-Capable Alarms Replace Ambiguous
"Beep"***
|
COLUMBUS, OH: Sometimes a "beep" or "whoop" doesn't convey enough
information to an operator of a machine. Floyd Bell Inc., manufacturer
of popular Audiolarm® piezo electric buzzers, has solved this
problem with a new line of high-quality digital audio alarms. New
Announcer™ Series alarms from Floyd Bell play a pre-recorded audio
message up to ten seconds at 95 dB. The same size as a standard piezo
alarm, they provide the ability to replace an ambiguous beep with voice
instructions or warnings. You have the ability to choose from standard
warning messages ("Warning!"), send us your own file, or have Floyd Bell
provide the production of the message at our in-house production studio!
Announcer™ Series alarms come standard with quick connect
terminals, a special grill designed for maximum acoustic output, and
voltage range to fit your application. ---Floyd Bell Inc.
