Testo Limited Pledges Support for Gas Safety Week 2019

Testo Limited has pledged its support for Gas Safety Week (16^th-22^nd September 2019) and aims to raise awareness about the importance of gas safety.

The ninth annual Gas Safety Week sees organisations from across the UK working together to raise awareness of the dangers of poorly maintained gas appliances, which can cause gas leaks, fires, explosions and carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning.

This year, Gas Safety Week is addressing a whole range of gas safety matters with a focus on addressing the needs of the most vulnerable – from advice about how to keep vulnerable loved ones gas safe, to raising awareness of using a registered engineer who is legally qualified, to ensure consumers don’t become vulnerable to illegal gas work through lack of awareness.

Michael Windsor, Testo UK’s Head of Sales said “The world’s largest test and measuring equipment manufacturer, Testo, proudly supports Gas Safety Week and the great work that all involved within the UK gas industry do to protect lives. Carbon Monoxide is a colourless, odourless, silent, killer. It is imperative that gas appliances have an annual safety check carried out by Gas Safe Registered engineers that are qualified in appliance safety. Please feel free to contact Testo UK to gain knowledge and understanding of premier gas safety equipment that can enable you to help this fantastic cause.”

Keep up-to-date with Gas Safe Register’s updates and advice throughout Gas Safety Week by following @GasSafeRegister on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and search #GSW19.

To keep you and your family safe, follow Gas Safe Register’s top tips:

• Know the symptoms of CO poisoning; headaches, nausea, breathlessness, collapse, dizziness and loss of consciousness.
• If you smell gas or think there might be a gas leak, call the free 24-hour national gas emergency number immediately on 0800 111 999.
• Never attempt to work on a gas appliance yourself, always seek the help of a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer who can work on your gas cooker, boiler or fire in a safe way.
• Don’t cut corners – only employ a suitably qualified Gas Safe registered engineer when having gas work carried out in your home.
• Always ask to see your engineer’s Gas Safe ID card. Make sure you check the back of the card, which will state which gas appliances they are qualified to work on.

 

Gas Safe Register is the official register for legally qualified engineers. You can find a registered engineer in your area by visiting the Gas Safe Register website at www.GasSafeRegister.co.uk or by calling on 0800 408 5500.

Cool Solutions Distribution use Testo thermal imaging cameras for instant, non-intrusive temperature measurement

Cool Solutions Distribution Ltd (CSD) are a Leeds based Toshiba air conditioning design house and distributor. Based in Yorkshire, CSD serve customers throughout the UK. They have a well-stocked trade counter to support their network of customers with all ancillaries needed to install, service and maintain a refrigeration or air conditioning system.

CSD commission cooling and ventilation systems for large office spaces. Typically, these systems require multiple air conditioning units and outlets, with many pipe runs and flow returns. CSD are regularly required to take pipe temperatures and readings on site. In the past, this has proved to be time consuming and awkward, especially if space is occupied with people, desks or other items. Research led Matt Worsman of CSD to explore how thermal imaging might be used to improve and speed the up this process.

 

Due to the company’s previous experience of Testo products and trust in the Testo brand, CSD selected the testo 865 Thermal Imaging Camera. Matt emphasised the quality, price and ease of use of Testo products as the deciding factors. Using the testo 865, CSD can very quickly get an overview that all the pipes and outlets are operating at the required temperatures. Sections which are blocked or not functioning correctly can be identified and diagnosed in a fraction of the time.

With testo 865, CSD are able to take fast and non-intrusive temperature measurements, whenever required. As Matt explained, “The use of access equipment has been significantly reduced.”

Matt also emphasised the time-saving advantages CSD have benefited from: “The use of this camera has reduced time on site by a huge amount. The fact that working at height is also reduced is a great bonus. Being able to record the measured data provides proof and evidence of a system’s performance.”

The Manor Drug Company LTD guarantee GDP-compliant storage and distribution with testo Saveris

The Manor Drug Company Ltd is the parent company of two pharmacy retail chains Peak Pharmacy and Tims and Parker. The 2 companies currently consist of over 60 pharmacies in the UK.  The Manor Drug Company have a clear vision which is ‘To deliver a high-quality healthcare service to our Customers, empower our Staff and develop our future with Suppliers’.

As a pharmaceutical wholesaler, ensuring a constant indoor climate is critical to complying with quality requirements. Continuous temperature monitoring is, therefore, a requirement; to guarantee GDP-compliant storage prior to distribution to pharmacies, to respond to any deviations in a timely manner, and to provide proof of due-diligence when it comes to MHRA audits.

The data monitoring system testo Saveris measures temperature and humidity values in sensitive goods, throughout the pharmaceutical cold-chain. This easy to operate system provides transparency and traceability, as well as savings of time and costs thanks to automated measurement data recording.

Measurement data is transferred by wireless and/or Ethernet connection to a Base station, documenting and monitoring all measurement data continuously. If limit values are exceeded, the system features several alarm options such as SMS/e-mail alarm or alarm relay.

All recorded data are centrally stored in software, allowing comprehensive analysis and evaluation of all measurements. Testo’s validatable 21 CFR Part 11 software is also available for applications which require this additional level of security.

The Manor Drug Company are using a testo Saveris system to monitor the temperature of pharmaceuticals. In their storage depot, they monitor the ambient temperature, using 10 testo Saveris T1 loggers, which have an internal temperature sensor.

The Manor Drug Company also monitor temperature during transport, using a testo Saveris T2 logger in each of its 15 vans. A great advantage to The Manor Drug Company of using a logger with both internal and external sensors is they are able to monitor the ambient temperature in the van, as well as the temperature of the coolbox which stores the pharmaceuticals.

Employing a system which takes measurements automatically has a number of practical advantages, as Laura explains “We’ve found the system very easy to use. It’s proved very handy for me to keep a track of the ambient/cold chain temperatures within the warehouse and vans on a daily basis, in conjunction with my RP workload for other company sites.”

The Manor Drug Company are really impressed with the resource saving of an automated monitoring system, in comparison to manual extraction of measurement data. When
asked to sum up their experience with Testo Saveris in a word, Laura said “Time-Saving”.
