Cirlock GLB-9 Mini Group Lockbox

Fri, 01 May 2026 00:00:00 +1000

Cirlock has launched the Mini Group Lockbox GLB-9, suitable for situations where multiple workers are involved in maintenance work. The mini group lockbox is designed for when there are up to four people working on a job, without the need for using a larger box. The key for the padlock that isolates the equipment is placed inside the group lock box and all workers place their personal locks on the group lock box, thereby preventing access to the isolation key until all workers have finished.

The mini group lock box holds one key and up to four padlocks. It can be portable or wall mountable and comes with a clear lid and red body. It is suitable for small team situations, is easy to transport and store, and is also made in Australia.

Cirlock also offers group lockboxes with up to 84 padlocks holes to cater for all job requirements.

Upgraded Sundström SR100 Half‑Face Respirator

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +1100

The upgraded Sundström SR100 half‑face respirator has been developed to deliver consistent respiratory protection while supporting user comfort across varied industrial environments. It retains its recognisable low‑allergenic silicone mask construction, designed to provide a close facial fit and maintain comfort during extended periods of wear. The updated head harness features a more durable, hypoallergenic Lycra material that helps achieve a balanced and personalised fit. The respirator is offered in three sizes, with harness attachment colours indicating size selection to assist users in achieving an effective facial seal.

A practical enhancement in this model is the drop‑down function, enabling the cradle‑style harness to be lowered when not in active use. This feature is suited to tasks that require frequent transitions between respiratory protection and open‑face work. The respirator also includes double‑moulded exhalation valve covers that help shield the valve membranes from splashes and airborne particles, supporting reliable performance in demanding conditions.

Lightweight in design, the SR100 can be used with the full range of compatible filters and compressed‑air attachments. It may also be equipped with an optional communication device, offering flexibility for users who require integrated communication capability across diverse work settings.

SPATA Welding Gloves

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +1100

AWS has launched the SPATA Welding Gloves range. Designed to meet what Australian and New Zealand welders want and need in their welding gloves, the SPATA glove range includes three heat welding options and three premium TIG welding options — all field-tested and welder-approved.

The Heat Welding Glove range is headlined by the SPATA Pro HD, boasting extreme heavy-duty protection.

BodyGuard i-Tag Pedestrian Safety System

Sun, 01 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +1100

The Bodyguard pedestrian safety warning system is designed to detect workers on foot who come too close to moving equipment. It helps to maintain a safe distance, thereby preventing collisions and enhancing workplace safety.

Advanced sensors detect presence of pedestrians within a programmable radius prompting immediate action to prevent collision. Both the forklift operator and pedestrian receive clear and unmistakable alerts (driver gets flashing light and human voice “Look out! Person near you”, pedestrian tag vibrates).

Pedestrians can wear small lightweight ‘Tags’ that become part of PPE to alert when close to moving equipment. The pedestrian safety warning system also features 360-degree cover, to detect pedestrians through most solid objects, around corners and within blind spots. The system does not require line of sight that other systems like AI cameras do.

The pedestrian safety warning system can be integrated into a range of workplace environments and magnetically attaches quickly to vehicles. The system only alerts when a Tag is detected within the exclusion zone, to prevent false alarms.

The Tags are easily worn on a lanyard, in pockets or attached to hard hats. The system only kicks in when a pedestrian is detected, therefore not interfering with normal workflow. No ongoing maintenance is required.

The pedestrian safety warning system is also RCMA Australian EMC and RF certified compliance.

Sundström gas filters range

Fri, 01 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +1000

Sundström offers a range of gas filters that can be interchangeably used with the Sundström SR100 half-mask and SR200 full-face respirator by simply fitting into the filter attachment. The SR510 particle filter can be snapped onto the front of the gas filter.

It is important to change the filter before it becomes saturated, and the filtering function ceases and the user breathes unfiltered contaminated air. Several factors affect the use time of a gas filter, including the filter type, filter size, ambient humidity and temperature, work intensity and pollutant concentration.

A type A filter consists of pure activated carbon, while all other types consist of carbon with various types of impregnations. Filters have varying abilities to absorb chemicals outside these chemical groups.

Gas filters are divided into three classes based on their capacity and test concentration: Class 1: 0.1% by volume = 1000 parts per million (ppm); Class 2: 0.5% by volume = 5000 ppm; and Class 3: 1.0% by volume = 10,000 ppm.

Sundström gas filters fall into two main categories: class 1 and 2. A class 2 filter has a higher absorption capacity than a class 1 filter, but at the expense of higher weight and greater breathing resistance.

The higher the ambient humidity, the shorter the useful life of the filter is. Impregnated carbon filters (B, E, K filters) do not have such sensitivity. The temperature also affects the useful life of the filter.

Increased work intensity increases the pulse and breathing rates. A larger volume of air flows through the filter during a given period, and the useful life of the filter is directly proportional to the air flow.

All these factors must be considered when selecting a gas filter and/or a combination filter.

Sundström SR200 Full-face respirator

Thu, 01 May 2025 00:00:00 +1000

This versatile respirator is designed to offer superior facial seal, added eye and face protection, breathing comfort and a higher protection factor level (NPF 2000) than half-masks. Its silicone body is low allergenic and low weight (≈ 450g). It is therefore a suitable choice for those wanting effective respiratory protection during intensive work for prolonged periods.

Made from scratch-resistant polycarbonate (standard), its unique spherical shaped visor provides wide and deep field of vision and minimises reflections and mist forming. The SR200 also comes with a glass visor option that is suitable against paint splashes and easily cleaned with solvent.

The mask is equipped with 3 inhalation valves and 2 exhalation valves achieving low breathing resistance. The silicone exhalation valves covered with caps for air diffusion effectively protect the valves and membranes from dust and paint mist (no clogging). Their design and position make voice communication possible when fitted with optional SmallTalk microphone and loudspeaker.

The easily adjustable mesh head harness is secured to the visor frame and the exhalation valves, and together these offer optimum wearer comfort and secure fit.

Like the entire modular Sundström product range, the SR200 accepts all Sundström filters and can be used with Sundström PAPRs and compressed air attachment.
