Blocks loud noisesThe Peltor Electronic Earplug from 3M enables ambient sounds to be heard by its wearer, while providing protection against louder sounds that could cause hearing damage.

This improves the ability of the wearer to hear warning signals, approaching vehicles and sounds emitted by machines and processes, as well as communicating with nearby colleagues, thus reducing the need to remove the ear protection.

Designed for use in the metalworking, welding, construction, ship construction and maintenance industries, the Peltor Electronic Earplug features a replaceable communications eartip available in multiple sizes and types to fit most

ear canals. Volume and power settings can be altered intuitively with the press of a single button on the side of the earplug. A specially designed microphone port helps minimise wind noise.

The lithium-ion batteries used to power the Peltor Electronic Earplug enable 16h use from a single charge. Tel: 08705 360036

global gas detection market. The micropump platform offers a

Martindale Electric’s latest PDS and PDSX Series of proving units are smaller, lighter and have new options for calibration checking test equipment.

The new PDSX units enable contractors and maintenance teams to safely and simply prove the operation of voltage indicators, two pole testers and test lamps, plus common 18th Edition tester functions.

The Series includes an additional CALCHECK feature for verifying the calibration consistency of multifunction installation testers providing confidence in the performance of essential test equipment before and after measurement.

CALCHECK makes it easy to verify the insulation and low resistance ranges on 18th testers on-site, making it suitable for identifying

JSP will be showing its latest ranges of safety products and solutions at A + A 2019 (Hall 6, Stand G43).

In 2020, RRC will be offering NEBOSH HSE Introduction to Incident Investigation courses in four more UK venues.

RRC was amongst the first training providers to offer the NEBOSH HSE Introduction to Incident Investigation.

The course is designed to enable learners to be able to carry out solo accident investigations, produce risk control plans and contribute to team accident/incident investigations for large-scale investigations. It aims to challenge learners to not only ask how an incident occurs, but why,

shaping a more resilient health and safety culture with fewer incidents as a consequence.

RRC held this course at its head office in Wimbledon in June 2019. Due to positive feedback, a further four venues will be offered in 2020: Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester and Newcastle. Tel: 020 89443100
