Who's responsible for drug and alcohol testing?
Since alcohol and drug usage, even in low doses, has the ability to affect an employee's capacity to carry out their duties safely, OHS risks increase when it is a factor in a workplace
Real-time asset performance in process plants
Most process plant personnel are unaware that their plant assets are under-performing. In fact, most plants do not even measure asset performance in real time. Production, efficiency, quality and cost are all measured after the fact
Machinery safety control systems and fluid power - Part 2
This article is the second of a six-part series providing an overview of requirements, principles, applications and technology for pneumatic and hydraulic safety systems of machinery
Machinery safety control systems and fluid power - Part 5
Once the safety-related parts of a control system that contain stored energy have been identified by the hazard identification/risk assessment process, the hierarchy of control and appropriate control methods must be practically applied

Hydac accumulator simulation program (ASP) 4.3 version
The Hydac accumulator simulation program (ASP) helps size an accumulator for a hydraulic system and can help determine the required gas volume.
Handheld oil condition monitor
The FluidScan is a handheld condition monitor that delivers fluid condition assessment based on ASTM International and JOAP standard practices. It protects machinery by determining when a lubricant needs to be changed due to excessive contamination, degradation or fluid mix-up. The monitor detects lubricant degradation and contamination by other fluids (water, glycol, incorrect lubricant) at the point of use by measuring key oil condition parameters in both synthetic and petroleum-based lubricants and fluids.
Fluid property analyser
The Fluid Property Analyser (FPA) is an innovative and robust sensor designed and manufactured by Measurement Specialties which simultaneously and directly measures the viscosity, density, dielectric constant and temperature of fluids.
Multifunction A/D board
Interworld Electronics has released the 104-AIO16 series multifunction analog I/O boards from Access I/O Products.
Particulate monitoring
MetOne Instruments has announced that the BAM-1020 Beta-Attenuation Mass Monitor has been approved under Australian Standard AS/NZS 3580.9.11.2008 for the determination of particulate matter, PM10, using Beta attenuation.
Pressure and force gauges
The Larzep range of pressure and force gauges can be calibrated to suit user-specific requirements and NATA certification can be supplied on request. Standard gauges include 80 and 100 mm dials with pressures to 700 bar and a variety of scales.
Fluid sensor
The efector mid is a magnetic-inductive inline flow sensor with flow rate, totalising and temperature indication. It can be adapted to different conditions due to its flexible programming. The sensor has a high protection rating and robust housing.
Remote inspection tools
Maintenance Systems Consolidated now has available inspection tools that are designed with the aircraft maintenance industry in mind. Inspection equipment is essential to maintain and service critical equipment including jet engines and other ancillary machinery.
Sanitary pressure regulator
The Fisher Type SR5 sanitary pressure regulators and Type SR8 sanitary back pressure regulators have expanded to include 2 and 3" models.
Hydraulic tester for mining
The FTM400R Reversible Mining Hydraulic Tester is part of the Diagtronics range of multimeters from Stauff. Suitable for underground and above-ground applications, it provides capacity to measure flow, pressure and temperature, featuring a built-in loading valve with an integral safety burst disc that enables the operator to simulate single-handedly a load on the system by progressively restricting flow.

Australian company develops a transportable rig for the mining industry
Endress+Hauser has developed a transportable rig that allows plant operators and process engineers to model and optimise complex wet processes such as flotation cells and thickeners.
Continuity of safety inspector certification
The Department of Labour and the Certification Board for Inspection Personnel (CBIP) has entered into an agreement that will ensure it continues to provide examination and assessments of equipment inspectors under the Health and Safety in Employment (Pressure Equipment, Cranes, and Passenger Ropeways) Regulations.
EnDuraSim to resell Femap and NX Nastran
Product Lifecycle Management Australasia (PLMA) today announced the appointment of EnDuraSim as a reseller, focusing on Femap and NX Nastran CAE solutions.
