A New Version of BS EN 360 With Significant changes was published in January. Did You Miss It? The latest publication is much more than a simple update. The photo here (From Globestock Safety) highlights all the changes from the old standard to the new. The green colours indicate changes… There is A LOT of green! BS EN 360 is the European Standard for retractable-type fall arresters and one of the main refinements of the 2023 version is the more stringent testing requirements. The dynamic testing requirements for fall arrest equipment have been completely overhauled to reflect better the extreme conditions this gear might face, from wide temperature variations to performance under full extraction. With these more rigorous tests, products certified under the new 2023 standard are set to be safer than those conforming to the old 2002 standard. This latest publication replaces all previous versions, meaning that any fall arresters certified under the old standards must be re-tested and re-certified once their current certificates expire. We have spoken to many industry people who weren't aware of this change, so I felt it was important to highlight it. Ensuring products and systems are safe to use and comply with relevant standards and regulations helps to prevent accidents, protect lives, and maintain public trust in products and services. Because when it comes to safety, we never compromise.

A septic inspection is always a good idea, but it's especially important to detect any hidden damage when it's located near tree root systems.

Fire Investigator Tip: Documenting is key. For a meticulous investigation, document everything - what you knew, when you knew it, and your actions with the information.  This comprehensive record not only strengthens your case but also ensures transparency and accountability in the investigative process. #KnowledgeThatSavesLives #FireInvestigation #FireTraining #FireEducation

As a forensic expert, we stand at the perimeter of the factory on fire, with the acrid smell of smoke lingering in the air as we survey the scene. Charred beams and twisted metal lay strewn about, remnants of what had once been a bustling operation. Our keen eyes focus on the burn patterns, searching for clues that might indicate the fire's origin. Just by looking at the incident place we can observe a lot of unsaid things: - 1. A cluster of equipment partially melted and still smoldering, hints at a potential accelerant. 2. sections of the wiring, frayed and scorched, suggests electrical failure. We meticulously document each detail, aware that the evidence we gather could be pivotal in unraveling the chain of events that led to this catastrophe. In our mind, we envisioned the story that would emerge from the ashes, one that could provide answers and, hopefully, prevent future disasters. #ForensicScience #FireInvestigation #SafetyFirst #RiskManagement #IndustrialSafety #FirePrevention #Investigation #IncidentAnalysis #WorkplaceSafety #ForensicExpert #DisasterResponse #SafetyCulture #RiskAssessment #FireSafety #EmergencyManagement
