Release Date: TP 27 – (03/12) Version 1 Tom Parker responds to new legislation with ‘Protect-Air’ In response to increasingly stringent legislation on the safe usage of pneumatic equipment and new directives governing the safety of employees from industry associations such as ISO, Preston-based Tom Parker Ltd., is placing a greater than ever emphasis on health and safety issues in its latest catalogue. The focus is very much upon both preventing accidents in the workplace as well as compliance with industry legislation. For all these reasons, the addition of the ‘Protect-Air’ range of pneumatic safety units, ensuring safety and efficiency while at the same time minimizing costs, is a significant one. Safely the best Tom Parker Sales Manager Seb Cole is clearly delighted to have tied up the deal with the German leaders in the field of pneumatic safety as he explains: ‘In recent years, health and safety has become the paramount consideration for every employer and in every workplace. So it’s hardly surprising that this relationship with ‘Protect-Air’ has attracted an unprecedented amount of industry interest’. Ensuring safety, exceeding regulations The ‘Protect-Air’ range incorporates class-leading products such as the HoseGuard airfuse, a protection device for compressed air that automatically cuts off the air supply when the air flow exceeds a pre-set flow rate in the event of a sudden rupture in a compressed system, pipe or hose. While SaveAir is a pre-set inline energy saving independent membrane regulator capable of installation in any compressed air system. SaveAir supplies a constant, exact outlet pressure, factory-set and tamper-proof, regardless of input pressure. An unrivalled package of products and expertise Concludes Seb: “We are delighted to be working with ‘Protect-Air’, particularly in the light of the fact that safety considerations have always been of prime concern for us here at Tom Parker. “The product range is certainly designed to promote peace of mind, especially when coupled with our own unrivalled technical knowledge and expertise, our fanatical attention to detail and dedication to health and safety issues.
