CENTURION MAKES STRIDES IN SAFETY

Centurion has developed its head protection system , Nexus , which will provide greater safety on site to protect workers from falls from height and any potential falling hazards .
The above-the-neck personal protective equipment specialist came up with the system after carrying out extensive research into customer insights and current market trends .
Nexus received a commended award at the 2017 Safety Awards organised by The British Safety Industry Federation ( BSIF ). It was also an award winner within the head protection section of the 2017 ISHN Readers ’ Choice Awards in North America .
Jeff Ward , chief executive officer at Centurion , said :
“ According to the Health and Safety Executive , in 2016 in the UK alone , there were over 600,000 non-fatal injuries , 37,000 caused from falls from height . Falls from height accounted for the highest percentage of fatalities at 26 %.”
Meanwhile , Centurion has also invested in three new directors to support its long-term growth and product innovation plans , and recently unveiled a new training and product innovation suite at its global headquarters in Thetford , UK .
The six-figure investment in the ‘ Clarity Counts University ’ and other substantial improvements in the head office will provide customers and employees with a dedicated education and training centre .
The company recently gathered together key strategic partners for an insight into its new business strategy , brand positioning and a tour of the refurbished global headquarters .

COMPOSITE DOOR PROMO

System meets triple challenge

Liniar ’ s latest launch at the FIT Show has seen the company join an elite band of window systems that can comply with the exacting Passive House standards – EnergyPlus 90 .
The new 90mm system is unique in that its 9-chamber profile has been designed to meet the triple challenges of thermal efficiency , noise reduction and security , while still maintaining the appearance and operation of a 70mm system .
Liniar ’ s design & development director , Adrian Redshaw , said : “ With more and more developments
being built on recycled brownfield land , often near busy transport links , architects are tagging acoustic criteria in addition to thermal and security specification .
“ The results from weather testing have been particularly impressive , with a full-sized EnergyPlus 90 window surpassing 3000Pa ( 155mph ) during recent safety tests .”
Perfect for commercial developments in urban areas , EnergyPlus 90 is available to all Liniar ’ s UK fabricators .
