Safety

A+A 2021 Preview

The pandemic has markedly accelerated the process of change in the working world. A fundamental change that enabled amongst other things the implementation of digital solutions overnight. At the same time, sustainability is more than ever the focus of society and industry. This opens up new areas of activity and raises new questions for the entire industry. How do we want to shape tomorrows’ world, how do we want to live, work and operate in this world while treating our fellow human beings and the available resources ecologically and responsibly?

Focused on the Future

Despite the corona pandemic, a lot is happening at Sensor People from Owen in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. In the future, Leuze electronics will only operate under the Leuze brand name. At the same time, the company is becoming even “yellower” and is positioning itself more strongly in this market segment with its own business unit for safety. GIT SECURITY EMEA spoke with ­Ulrich Balbach, CEO of Leuze.

Tegera Anti-Vibration Glove won Best in Test

A range of 24 vibration protection gloves were put through their paces recently in a British-wide safety survey that pitted some of the most respected brands and gloves on the market against each other, with Ejendals’ popular Tegera 9180 being awarded Best All-round Anti-vibration Glove.

Additional Safety For Lone Workers

The Budenheim company takes its name from the Rhine-based region of its founding, but today operates as a truly international chemical specialist. The company headquarters remain in the region (Close to neighbouring Mainz, Germany), but are now part of a number of additional production sites based around the world. Inevitably, some of the activities carried out by Budenheim personnel, require an element of lone working – often defined as working outside of eyesight or earshot from another colleague. Typically, this will involve maintenance or check procedures around product control, testing, and safety. Even employees not working in a high-risk environment, can face heightened risk in an emergency, due to working alone.

Looking at the new requirements for 5G NR, mobile network operators, organizations, private measurement service providers, and public authorities can also use their tried and tested 9 kHz to 6 GHz SRM-3006 for code-selective measurements of 5G signals.

Lightweight Respiratory Protection During the Covid-19 Pandemic

Due to the global spread of the novel SARS-CoV-2 virus, the demand for suitable personal protective equipment has risen sharply and, as a consequence, FFP masks are particularly sought after. Previously used mainly in industrial applications, they nowadays first and foremost serve to protect medical staff during the coronavirus pandemic.

Lidar At Its Best

Whether for monitoring areas, facades or perimeters, when it comes to security-related building automation, SICK laser scanners (such as the LMS141) have established themselves as dependable sensor systems to detect persons and to monitor buildings. In addition to use in video management systems, in this time of the coronavirus pandemic, they also support the counting of persons and detection of their direction, as well as checking that they maintain social distancing.
