New Atex Turbolite Airlamp range
Wolf Safety has launched the new generation of Turbolite high power compressed-air driven safety lamps, CE marked to the ATEX 94/9/EC Directive for use in Zones 1 and 2 Hazardous Areas
One of the many duties is to risk-assess existing non-ATEX equipment.
Wolf suggests buying compliant products now, such as Safety Torches and Handlamps, to avoid this time consuming task.
They will provide the safety, performance, reliability and economy that hazardous area industries now demand.
Further medium term savings can be made by investing in rechargeables, the alternatives being the up-graded Wolflite rechargeable Handlamp, probably the best known safety lighting product worldwide, or the new high-tech rechargeable torch with lightweight Lithium-ion cells and the options of halogen or LED light sources.
Investment now, will particularly be beneficial, as the Wolflite, for example, has been known to give good service for as long as 10 to 15 years, with little or no maintenance cost.
Periodic inspections are simple and easy, batteries are removed in seconds for inspection, and replaced just as quickly.
