Grundfos take to the Fells<br />
Grundfos Pumps Ltd ( BASA member )organised a customer day with a difference,<br />
exclusively for the <strong>Sprinkler</strong> Industry, when bike mad Fire Pump Business Manager,<br />
Alan Gaffney and Sales Director, Julian Wright-Williams got together in the Lake District.<br />
Ten plucky individuals from several <strong>Sprinkler</strong> Engineering Companies including Hall &<br />
Kay, Central Fire, Wormald and Fire Defender, with a passion for motorbikes, took to<br />
the tracks and trails on specially equipped enduro machines.<br />
Led by two, professional trail riding guides for the majority of the riders it was a first<br />
venture away from tarmac roads and new skills had to be acquired in super quick time<br />
to prevent regular close encounters with the rocks and mud.<br />
However one or two of our industry colleagues demonstrated they were serious "Offroaders"<br />
with a highly developed competitive spirit !<br />
The overall verdict was Grundfos had arranged an outstanding event<br />
with a difference, living up to our slogan of "Be>Think> Innovate" and for some it was a<br />
top ranking lifetime experience. Apart from a few spills no injuries were recorded other<br />
than aching muscles. We will have to do it again was the cry!<br />
Our thanks go to Clews Leisure who provided the guides, machines and<br />
equipment.<br />

First OHSAS 18001 certificate awarded<br />
Argus Fire Protection Company Limited of Stourbridge are the first company to have received certification to specification<br />
OHSAS 18001 (Occupational Health & Safety Management System) through BRE Certification. This standard gives requirements<br />
for an occupational health and safety management system. If met, the requirements help to ensure that a company is<br />
controlling its health and safety risks and enables it to improve its performance. Certification of a company to this standard by<br />
BRE Certification helps ensure that it is adequately addressing the occupational health and safety risks in relation to the complexity<br />
of its activities. Other applications are in hand and BRE hope to announce further approvals shortly
