Warning and hazard signalling improves workplace safety

RS Components has introduced the Clifford and Snell brand from Moflash Signalling. The range of industrial and hazardous area sounders and beacons are synonymous with workplace safety across the world.

The primary function of any signalling device is to warn of imminent danger or process change whether it is an acoustic signal or visual signal or, as is often more common today, a combination of both. At the extreme end of its operation function signalling devices can save lives or save people from serious injury. More generally, they assist to protect buildings, plant and machinery and show general process changes within a manufacturing process.

Kristian Olsson, vice president of Industrial Automation and Control at RS, is keen to stress the importance of the new brand introduction: “At RS, we position workplace safety at the top of our list of priorities and aim to offer our customers a full selection of the devices they need to operate industrial plants and machinery safely. The close partnerships we have with well-respected, specialist safety equipment manufacturers like Clifford and Snell mean that we can offer our customers a full range of workplace safety solutions to protect not only their people but also all of their critical equipment. The result is fewer accidents and a reduction in production downtime.”

Simon Evans, sales director at Moflash Signalling, manufacturers of Clifford and Snell Brand, also understands the value of partnering with high service level distributors like RS: “Moflash Signalling and RS Components have had a working relationship for over 20 years, and this relationship is pivotal to Moflash’s distribution strategies. Product availability, along with high-quality products and competitive pricing, is critical, and this is where RS excels. With their global reach via distribution centres and partners around the world supported by local RS sales offices, this means that Moflash has a partner who can deliver its products to users’ doors at the speed that is required.”
