From flammable cleaning solvents and machine lubrication products, to reacting and oxidising agents used in polymerisation and chemical bleaching, toxic and dangerous goods (DGs) are irreplaceable components in modern industrial processing. And it's no surprise that Australia has some of the strictest guidelines on the planet regarding their usage in the workplace.

The storage and containment of these dangerous materials presents a host of challenges that are unique from all other aspects of their handling, though. Everything from the temperature they're stored at, to their proximity to water requires careful monitoring and regulation. That's why in addition to ensuring their operations and material handling personnel are properly trained on hazard awareness, businesses also need to invest in storage containers that help maximise their risk management.

Alarms and emergency warning systems are mandatory fixtures in most businesses and industrial facilities. These systems are responsible for everything from the shelter-in-place warnings issued according to workplace safety protocols, to area-wide evacuation notifications covering an imminent external dangers. 

And as lives and property can be in the balance anytime an alarm is triggered, the warning devices that are used with these systems have to perform flawlessly every time. Modern warning devices are nothing like the classic siren and alarm bell appliances that have been used for generations. 

Today's staged, event-specific warning systems require warning devices to be smarter and more versatile than ever. Fortunately though, after more than 100 years, the company that helped pioneer mechanical warning devices is more committed than ever to keeping people safe when an emergency arises.

Utes, boats, motorhomes and caravans all rely on deep-cycle batteries for power. They run everything from winches and off-roading lights to fridges and ovens, and store backup power from vehicle solar installations. Unlike starter batteries that provide short power bursts to get engines going, deep-cycle batteries are designed to give a consistent charge over a longer period. This makes them ideal for keeping the AC on in hot weather, pumping fresh water, lighting camp sites or binge watching your favourite shows. 

A major benefit is that the batteries can be repeatedly discharged to much lower levels (often lower than 50 per cent) than their starter siblings, and recharged thousands of times without losing capacity or enduring physical damage. Several types exist, from simple lead-acid to lithium deep cycle batteries with higher discharge rates and longer lifespans.
