Safety Eyewear Provides a Custom Fit for Any Face
Wearers can adjust FitLogic eyewear at four points. The frame has a flexible, cushioned, lightweight browbar that adapts to any face shape. The nosepiece rotates 360 deg., pivots, and slants in and out to fit almost any nose bridge. The temple arms ratchet up and down, then click securely in place. The soft temple tips lengthen with a precise sliding action for better behind-the-ear comfort and virtually infinite adjustment possibilities. A floating lens design provides ventilation to minimize fogging, and the wrap-around lens offers extra cheek and side coverage. The polycarbonate lens blocks 99.9% of UV rays and are available with anti-fog coatings.

Training Program Educates Operators About Safety Instrumented Systems and Much More
The Certified Functional Safety Expert CFSE-IEC 61508 training program is designed to help process industries reduce risk, cut costs and comply with government safety regulations, such as OSHA CFR 1910.119 in the U.S. or the Seveso II Directive (96/082/EEC) in Europe. Operators will learn about safety instrumented systems, safety lifecycle management, and safety verification, validation, audits and assessments. They will also learn how to avoid over-engineering their safety instruments.

Bearing Isolators Increase Safety, Productivity And Reliability in Oil Mist Applications
In a typical oil mist application, atomized lubricant is injected into the bearing housing; without proper sealing, it will escape into the environment through the shaft ends. With the OM 32 Series oil mist bearing isolator, the lubricant is coalesced to a liquid and drains back into a sump or researvoir. The bearing isolators consist of a rotor and stator, unitized so they do not separate during use, which interact to keep contamination out of the bearing enclosure and the oil mist contained. The OM 32 is made entirely of non-sparking bronze and has no contacting surfaces that could heat up and ignite volatile materials in the area. Unlike contact seals, bearing isolators do not wear out.

Modular Interlocks Have Rotary Switches for Power or Control Isolation
The mGard trapped-key safety interlocks are modular units that control access to enclosed areas. When a key is inserted into the door, bolt or key-exchange module and turned, the contacts on the switch are changed. This allows the user to isolate power and control access to potentially hazarous areas until a safe condition has been established. The modules feature a slim, die-cast zinc body with bronze finish, and internal contact components and keys made of stainless steel; all-stainlesssteel versions are also available.
