TBA Protects against
Static Shocks
Protecting people
& property
Of course things have moved on since then. TBA Protective Solutions
moved from the old site in 2012 and are now situated in a modern facility
on the Transpennine Trading Estate, next to Junction 20 of the M62
motorway, but manufacturing still remains a huge part of its business.
LBS GROUP provide a range of fire
resistant insulated rolling shutters
and sectional overhead doors to
provide vastly increased property
protection, ranging from EW 90
Double skin steel rolling shutters
forming a radiation zone, V60
shutters with EI 60 insulation and
EI 120 insulated Sectional doors with the additional benefit of 35dB sound
reduction.
Using their own specially formulated conductive and static dissipative
polymers, TBA use injection moulding machines to produce an array of
products including conductive boxes and bins, earthing plugs and pins,
coiled cords and wrist band buckles as part of their static control range.
All products are tested as CEN 1634-1 and are supplied, installed and
maintained nationwide by LBS GROUP who also offer a complete ongoing maintenance and repair service to ensure that Building occupier’s
continue to meet their legal obligations.

the heart of TBA Protective Solutions.

The new Showa 240 glove, has been added

Training Key to
Staying Safe
Used correctly abrasives have an extremely
good safety record and manufacturers follow
stringent manufacturing standards to ensure
products are fit for purpose. However, problems
arise when products are used incorrectly or for
materials and applications for which they were
not intended.
So where can you go to get the correct training for your specific
application, machine and environment? In most instances abrasive wheel
producers and distributors can offer valuable advice but in an effort to
raise standards and awareness the British Abrasives Federation (BAF)
have been providing an accreditation scheme to ensure that trainers and
training companies are giving the right information.
For more information on BAF training programmes or a list of accredited
trainers contact BAF Secretary Stuart Lane on 08456 12 13 80 or
[email protected]. Alternatively visit the website www.thebaf.org.uk
