PROTECT EMPLOYEES
WITH SAFETY PRODUCTS
Further to the successful launch at the
beginning of this year,
ABUS has announced
that the full LOTO range
is now being stocked
at Toolbank branches
nationwide.
Each year over a million
employees get seriously
injured or die from work
related accidents. Whilst
safe protocol can be implemented to prevent such
accidents, integrating safety
products into this procedure
will effectively prevent accidents and protect employees.
For further information
on LOTO or any other
ABUS products call
0117 204 7000
The ABUS Safety Range
offers LOTO products for all
industrial machinery switches, outlets, gate valves,
ball valves, compressed air
connections, circuit breakers
etc. ABUS offers a range
of Lockout safety padlocks
(also available in various
colours, with spaces for inscription, or engraving) and
hasps ensure the devices
can be safely locked off.
The ABUS Safety Redbox™
is the perfect solution for
locking out multiple points
such as that required for
maintenance and service
work on industrial machin-
ery, possibly with multiple
members of staff.
The Redbox ensures
that only the foreman has
to lock out all the access
points and then put the
different keys in to the box.
Individual ‘gatekeepers’ then
lock the Safety Redbox™
with their personalized
padlock, with all their keys
safely stored during the
maintenance process. ABUS
offers the new Safety Redbox™ as an individual item,
or as starter kits containing
Lockout padlocks and hasps
to implement the LOTO
process.
Tackling Air-Tightness
tremco illbruck has
recently launched
a new Building Protection Range that
gives specifiers and
installers total peace
of mind when it comes
to air-tightness and
vapour management.
The key to the offer is
compatibility between
the products in the range.
tremco illbruck have
extensively tested the
products, both in their
laboratory and on-site to
determine which products
work with each other,
dramatically reducing the
risk of products not bonding together and putting
at risk the integrity of the
entire system.
It’s now possible to
successfully link the
window interfaces and
building fabric membranes
with products from one
source.
UK Sales Manager Alistair
Inglis explains: “As acknowledged experts in the
sealing of windows and facades, we were constantly
being asked about internal
and external sealing of the
building envelope especially detailing at inter-
Pictured left is the Building Protection Range
brochure and right is illbruck’s Protection Range
faces. As part of tremco
illbruck we have access to
some of the best airtightness and vapour products
in the marketplace. So we
brought these together to
complement the existing
range.”
The solutions have also
been checked on BuildDesk software. BuildDesk
allows subscribers of
their system to carry out
condensation risk analysis
with their chosen building
materials. illbruck’s new
range of Vapour Barrier
& Breather Membranes
ensure, when used in the
correct location, a healthy
building with inbuilt performance.
Many of the products
have been brought into
the range with modern
methods of construction
in mind. For example the
ME010 Breather Membrane
UV + Fire is permanently
UV resistant, and EuroClass B fire rated, ideal for
buildings
