Safety Shocker - PPE Goes Green
Hmm. Doesn’t see a need for eye protection, but does see a need for a chest protector.
February Swine Flu Update
The overall situation in New Zealand is largely unchanged since last week. Sentinel surveillance data from the Institute of Environmental Science and Research show that visits to doctors for influenza-like illness (ILI) remained at very low levels during the week of 25-31 January 2010.
Weekly consultation rates for influenza-like illness in New Zealand, 2008-2010
Whilst the continued low influenza activity is good news, it is important not to lose sight of the fact that the pandemic is not over. A possible second wave of pandemic influenza, for which we have been preparing, could occur anytime.
To help protect New Zealanders against the flu, the Ministry is currently making a monovalent (single viral strain) pandemic vaccine available through an early targeted immunisation programme. The Ministry recommends that those at highest risk of complications have this monovalent vaccine (followed by the seasonal influenza immunisation when it becomes available from early March). Those eligible to receive this monovalent pandemic vaccine are pregnant women, people under 65 years of age (including children) with certain conditions (as for seasonal influenza) or are morbidly obese, and all children aged from 6 months to their fifth birthday enrolled in designated practices that have high proportions of people who are Maori, Pacific and/or from high deprivation areas. It is being made available through clinics, and eligible people who are interested in receiving the early vaccine can get information about these clinics from their DHB.
The early immunisation will also be available to frontline healthcare workers, including staff in general practices, emergency departments, intensive care units and those who may have direct contact with at-risk patients.

Anchor on the Go™ Temporary Roof Anchor
An Easy-To-Use Economical Temporary Anchor for Metal Roof Applications!
DBI-SALA, a Capital Safety brand solely dedicated to the fall protection market, has
announced the launch of their NEW Anchor on the Go™ temporary roof anchor for metal roofs.
The Anchor on the Go™ temporary roof anchor is a cost effective solution that is ideal for
use in residential, commercial and industrial applications on a variety of metal roofs. The
patented device provides a safe 15kN fall arrest rated anchor point ensuring you remain
protected from dangerous falls while complying with safety regulations. Its portability is a
plus for the tradesman, allowing them to take the anchor with them from job to job to
work confidently, efficiently and safely.
Installation is fast and simple, allowing the user to get on with the job at hand,
immediately. In a few simple steps the anchor is installed and ready for use, there is no
need to remove roof screws and no tools are required. The anchor’s bottom angle simply
slides up under the roof sheeting with the main post resting in the pan, the locking cams
are then pushed into place via the easy-grip levers providing a solid and secure
connection. The anchor is now ready for use, simply connect your fall arrest system, such
as a roof workers kit, and you are good to go. Removal is just as trouble-free; simply
complete the steps in reverse and you are ready to take Anchor on the Go™ with you to
your next job.
“Anchor on the Go™ has been developed to provide portable piece of mind in an anchor
that is strong and safe, yet is quick and easy to install,” says Greg Peterson, Systems
Manager for Capital Safety, Australia and New Zealand. “The anchor is an ideal temporary
solution for metal roof applications, and is an addition to our extensive range of anchors
that are available for almost every type of roof structure.”
