Are Your Factory Staff Really Safe at Work Asks Bodet?

All employees are entitled to work in an environment where risks to their health and safety are properly controlled, especially in large industrial complexes where there are increased risks.

 

Hemel Hempstead, United Kingdom, May 01, 2018 –(PR.com)– It is therefore incumbent on every employer to carry out an assessment that considers all potential dangers to both workers and visitors, and ensure they are taking reasonable steps to mitigate each and every one.

In many industrial environments, substances found in the workplace can cause fires or explosions. These range from the obvious, such as flammable chemicals, petrol, cellulose paint thinners and flammable gases, to the less obvious such as engine oil, grease, packaging materials, dust from machining or sanding operations and from foodstuffs like flour and sugar.

Emergency action plans need to be in place, including evacuation procedures and training for the appropriate staff, but critical to the success of such procedures is an effective communication system that clearly instructs everybody on site what they must do should an emergency situation arise. Variables could include which evacuation route and assembly points to use, and whether the situation is an onsite or off-site emergency.

Most organisations will have an existing fire bell and emergency procedure plan in place, but even with regular drills carried out, using a single bell sound such as a fire alarm can lead to confusion. Varying frequency and duration of the alarm to signal different emergencies can lead to misinterpretation, causing delays when rapid and appropriate action is critical to safety.

It makes sense, therefore to have an alarm system that not only can broadcast specific alarms that relate to the emergency situation, but to incorporate verbal instructions. That way all staff and visitors are clearly informed what actions they need to take to ensure their safety. Any key health and safety personnel can also be given specific instructions, as these can vary depending on what the emergency is.

The same principle applies when alerting any safety crews to an emergency situation, if your emergency procedures plan contains steps to control or contain an incident. The actions required to tackle a fire are completely different to those required to deal with a chemical or volatile solvent spillage. Without clear and accurate instructions, safety crews may be ill equipped to deal with the hazard effectively.

To address this issue, International time management specialists Bodet, developed Harmonys, a versatile bell and public address system that runs across an existing IT network using Power Over Ethernet (POE). This makes it easy and quick to install, even at a large site. Storing up to 18 different bell sounds, melodies or pre-recorded voice messages the system can be programmed to announce routine time alerts for shift changes, lunch or end of day, but should an emergency situation arise, specific alarms relevant to the hazardous situation can be broadcast across the site instantly.

A range of wired or remote alert trigger methods exist, including a wired multi-button control panel, wireless remote control and smartphone application. Even greater flexibility can be achieved by incorporating a microphone so announcements can be pre-recorded or broadcast live. Harmonys Flash units, ideal to alert those with hearing impediments or for use in loud environments, show a visual alert indicator in the advent of emergency alerts. Connection to an induction loop for those wearing hearing aids can be provided with Harmonys Line.

Whatever emergency arises, Harmonys ensures everyone on your premises immediately knows what’s happening and the correct actions to take, allowing your emergency plan to be communicated and actioned with full effect providing safety for all.

Groundbreaking Wheelchair Test Track to Help Millions in Need of Mobility in Developing World

Free Wheelchair Mission, SD Mines Engineering Students and South Dakota-based RPM & Associates produce first-of-its-kind test track that improves efficiency of wheelchair testing, design and production.

 

Irvine, CA, April 05, 2018 –(PR.com)– Today, Free Wheelchair Mission (FWM), a world leader in mobility solutions for people with disabilities in developing countries, announced the completion of its groundbreaking wheelchair test track. Newly installed and operating at the Irvine headquarters, the test track will provide valuable data that will help improve the design and life-span of FWM’s wheelchairs. The project was built in partnership with engineering students at the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology (SD Mines) and Rapid City, South Dakota-based RPM and Associates, Inc. (RPM).

“We are incredibly grateful for the partnership with SD Mines and RPM to produce this test track,” said Don Schoendorfer, founder and president, FWM. “We set out with a simple mission to help as many people in need as we could, and through tremendous support and partnerships like this one, we have helped over one million people gain a life of independence and hope. This test track is an incredible asset to help even more people by being able to produce better designed, longer-lasting wheelchairs for developing nations in a fraction of the time.”

FWM has distributed more than one million wheelchairs at no cost to people with disabilities in 93 countries since 2001. Until now, the organization evaluated wheelchair designs by field-testing samples in a developing country – an expensive process that took a year or longer to complete and often produced ambiguous data. Using durable, steel frames and mountain bike tires the chairs are designed to withstand the rugged terrain of third world countries. Previous studies show that with normal use and maintenance, the chairs typically last three or more years.

The test track enables wheelchairs to be assessed more conveniently in our office in Irvine, CA, and compresses three to five years of field testing into a few months – replacing the laborious and time-consuming process of testing wheelchairs in the field.

Test wheelchairs are fitted with instrumentation to measure acceleration and strain. These test wheelchairs are kept stationary while positioned on a conveyor belt moving at varying speeds. Obstacles attached to the belt simulate the same types of obstacles wheelchair users encounter in their home countries. Adjustable manikins will sit on each of the wheelchairs to replicate varied sizes and needs of users. Data from the instrumentation will show forces and stresses in real time on the chair and its user. This will permit comparison of design options in very controlled and reproducible test conditions which will result in continued improvements in design, comfort and longevity of the wheelchairs. It will also allow comparison testing and comparisons of wheelchairs offered by peer organizations around the world.

“The RPM Companies are honored and privileged to be a small part of the FWM team. RPM & Associates and its sister companies, RPM Solutions and RPM Innovations, combined their many years of experience in engineering and manufacturing to provide this first of its kind test track. It is very gratifying to know that our expertise is being utilized by FWM to provide more reliable and durable wheelchairs to those in need around the globe,” said Robert P. Mudge, President, RPM & Associates, Inc.

More than 70 million people worldwide are in dire need of a wheelchair, yet do not have the resources to obtain one. That need will continue to grow due to aging, natural disasters, political unrest and traffic accidents. FWM just celebrated distributing its one millionth wheelchair and has no plans to slow down. The goal is to deliver its next million wheelchairs by 2025, half the time it took to give out the first million.

Additionally, as a member of the Board of Directors of the International Society of Wheelchair Providers (ISWP), Schoendorfer is offering the test track services to other members of ISWP who also are producing wheelchairs for the developing world.

“By all of us working together, we can bring the gift of mobility to the millions more in need,” Schoendorfer said.

About Free Wheelchair Mission:
Free Wheelchair Mission (FWM) is a humanitarian, faith-based, nonprofit organization that provides wheelchairs at no cost to people with disabilities living in developing nations. In collaboration with a network of like-minded partners, Free Wheelchair Mission has provided more than one million wheelchairs to those living with a disability in 93 developing nations since 2001, providing dignity, independence, and hope through the gift of mobility.
