101115 Drager Air fed System Presentation

Development with R.P.E. and
innovations in
communication within High-Output
Environment
• In High-Output we carry out a range of activities that agitate
ballast and the effect will create a hazardous environment by
way of putting crystalline silica dust in the air. These include
the use of BCS, D75, Auto-hoppers, Tamping, regulating to
name a few.
Innovation
• By listening to the feedback of the R.P.E. We are positively
trialling a new Drager airfed system. We have had a very
positive response so far, a much quieter operating function
and with a standard type hard hat that enables the fitting of
standard cap lamps. Because of its ability to offer mic access
it is helping us (with Co-Channel) to evolve an industry first
dual Com’s system. This will enable the user (including FFP3)
to maintain safe and effective com’s whilst remaining fully
protected and compliant at all times.
• Site Visits with Co-Channel have taken place with TRS & BCS
systems
• Proto type expected to be ready for trials at the beginning of
November 2015
• Welcome any other I.M.T.s to get involved and share in the
trials
• Any feed back or questions through the T.S.A. or directly to
