Romec’s appliance<br />
of safety science<br />
One of the UK’s leading facilities<br />
management companies is using<br />
the latest test technology as part<br />
of a service to verify the safety of<br />
electrical equipment used in the<br />
workplace.<br />
As part of its building maintenance<br />
FM service, Romec provides specialist<br />
in-service electrical safety testing<br />
to help clients comply with their<br />
health and safety responsibilities<br />
and the Electricity At Work<br />
Regulations in particular.<br />
To provide this service, Romec’s test<br />
engineers use an integrated portable<br />
appliance testing system developed<br />
by Seaward Electronic that links<br />
advance test technology with specialist<br />
appliance tester modems and<br />
software-based records keeping systems.<br />
The Romec team of service engineers<br />
is equipped with the latest<br />
Seaward Supernova testers to carry<br />
out safety tests on all types of 110v<br />
and 240v electrical equipment including IT, business<br />
and office machines, power tools and appliances.<br />
In total around 500,000 appliances are<br />
now tested each year to check for electrical<br />
faults and damage, which might otherwise go<br />
Lone workers no longer<br />
need to be an obvious<br />
target of crime<br />
Lone workers such as Security<br />
Guards, Taxi & Bus Drivers and<br />
Sales Reps, are amongst those<br />
most at threat from both opportunist<br />
and planned crime during<br />
their working hours, however a<br />
new innovation in security clothing<br />
- known as the ‘Lock-Top’ is<br />
set to change all of that.<br />
undetected.<br />
This comprehensive system enables the fast and<br />
accurate testing of appliances and the direct<br />
printing of test records on-site. The modem<br />
allows the downloading of results from remote<br />
The professions, well known to<br />
have a lone worker that carries<br />
either substantial amounts of<br />
money or keys and security passes,<br />
has made them an unfortunate target<br />
of crime; however a company<br />
that manufacturers a Police-styled<br />
security garment for the consumer<br />
market has today launched its<br />
product into the corporate arena.<br />
KDT Corporate Wear Limited has<br />
unveiled a new undergarment,<br />
made from the highly breathable<br />
Dupont Coolmax material, called<br />
the ‘Lock-Top’.<br />
“The Lock-Top is unique in its<br />
design and is the only undergarment<br />
of its kind available in the<br />
UK. It has two zip pockets located<br />
around the ribs, making them completely<br />
invisible to anyone else,”<br />
said Tony Tuck, Managing Director<br />
of KDT Corporate Wear Limited.<br />
“We are well placed to understand<br />
the problems of lone workers as we<br />
manufacture clothing for Police<br />
Forces around the UK. Utilising this<br />
experience, we have adapted the<br />
design of a Police vest and tailored<br />
it to this market. Money, security<br />
passes and other valuables can be<br />
carried in the two pockets, making<br />
the worker less of an obvious target.”<br />

International Paper, the world’s<br />
largest paper and forest products<br />
company, today announced the<br />
launch of four new colours in its<br />
Adagio range of tinted papers for<br />
office and graphic use.<br />
Lemon yellow, coral pink, lime<br />
green and grass green are the<br />
four new colours enriching<br />
the range of Adagio papers,<br />
which already consists of<br />
twenty-four colours,<br />
classified in four categories:<br />
pastel, bright,<br />
intense and flash.<br />
The Adagio range is<br />
well-known in the<br />
corporate environment<br />
for its<br />
wide ranging<br />
office applications.<br />
The<br />
innovative<br />
use of colours<br />
enables structuring<br />
of reports, differentiating<br />
between recipients<br />
and strengthening the<br />
impact of a message. Adagio<br />
ensures quality printing with lightstable<br />
colours and good doublesided<br />
opacity. Its packaging is<br />
transparent to <strong>protect</strong> the paper<br />
and to allow for immediate identification<br />
of the colours. The reams<br />
test locations to a central off-site<br />
database.<br />
The customer retains a full copy of<br />
all test results and a central archive<br />
of all test records is maintained in<br />
line with Romec’s ISO9000 quality<br />
assurance systems.<br />
In this way the portable appliance<br />
service provided by Romec forms an<br />
important part of the company’s<br />
‘one stop shop’ philosophy to providing<br />
FM solutions.<br />
Ian Cuss, general manager for Romec<br />
in the North East of England, said:<br />
“Portable appliance testing has<br />
grown in importance and we have<br />
responded by developing a service<br />
that combines fast and effective<br />
testing with full record keeping features.<br />
“Traceability of results and unambiguous<br />
test records are vital to<br />
demonstrate compliance to the<br />
statutory bodies. Technological innovations<br />
of the type introduced by<br />
Seaward have enabled us to respond to these<br />
market demands and offer a highly efficient and<br />
professional appliance testing service for the<br />
benefit of our customers.”<br />
