This is a noise dosimeter that is small and wearable. It is placed on employees in order to determine their daily noise dose.

   

This is a vibration analyzer. It is used to determine occupational exposure to vibration encountered when using power tools or operating machinery.

This is a heat stress instrument used to monitor an employee’s body temperature when they are working in hot environments.

   

This is an air sampling pump used to monitor for contaminants that might be present in air. This device collects samples that must be analyzed by a laboratory.

   

This is an air sampling pump used to monitor for contaminants that might be present in air. This device gives direct readings to workers and immediately alerts them to any hazardous vapors or oxygen deficiency in the air they are breathing.

   

This is a Firelite fire alarm panel. A fire alarm system is made up of a control panel and other devices like smoke detectors and water flow switches, and notifies building occupants when a fire is detected.

   

A flash point tester is used to heat petroleum products in order to determine how hot they get before they give off vapors that can ignite and burn.

This is a fire extinguisher training system, which allows students to learn how to use fire extinguishers using a smokeless air and water system.

 

This is a fire water pump. It boosts water pressure and flow to sprinkler systems in situations where the city water supply cannot meet the sprinkler system demand.

   

This is a dry pipe sprinkler system. It is used in places like parking garages where freezing of the sprinkler piping is a concern.
