Hazardous Area Ventilation and Power
Some confined spaces are enclosed to the extent that they require mechanical ventilation to provide sufficient fresh air to replace the oxygen that is being used up by people working in the space and to dilute and remove gas, fume or vapour produced by the work.
This can be done by using a blower fan and trunking and/or an exhaust fan. Fresh air should be drawn from a point where it is not contaminated either by used air or other pollutants
We stock a wide range of ventilation equipment ideal for ventilating confined spaces.

SiteZone Proximity Warning Safety System
Workplace transport is one of the most common causes of fatalities and serious injuries across many industries, with over 50 deaths and 1500 major accidents per annum.
Almost half of these involve being struck by a moving vehicle. SiteZone’s proximity warning safety system has been designed to help mitigate against such incident.
SiteZone uses radio frequency technology to generate an invisible field around the vehicle. If personnel wearing a PWS transponder enter the detection zone an audible and visual alarm is triggered, alerting the machine operator that someone has breached the zone and also activating data recording of the zone breach.
