Apollo Safety, Inc. a veteran-owned, Fall River, Mass.-based company specializing in safety products and services, recently announced the formation of an Environmental Health & Safety Division to better serve university, manufacturer, oil and gas refineries, life science, biotech and other large facility clients. The new division will feature extensive offerings as it pertains to gas detection equipment, maintenance and monitoring and compliance. 鈥淓nvironmental Health & Safety departments at large universities, refineries, manufacturers, etc. have become more commonplace in recent years and that certainly is a step in the right 聽direction when it comes to the safety of residents, staff and visitors, 鈥� said John V. Carvalho III, president of Apollo Safety, Inc. 鈥淯nfortunately, gas detection equipment, maintenance and monitoring are areas where these facilities are a bit behind and that鈥檚 where our new division can help.鈥�
Apollo Safety鈥檚 offerings include a wide variety of portable and stationary gas detection systems suitable for large universities, including name brands like Industrial Scientific, RAE Systems by Honeywell, RKI Instruments, and GMI. Apollo Safety also offers portable gas monitors for rental at weekly or monthly rates. Rental equipment is calibrated to NIST standards. In addition, Apollo Safety also provides on-site installation and training and 24/7 service. Apollo Safety technicians are factory-trained. In addition, Apollo offers its own proprietary training program, with five levels of certification. 鈥淎pollo Safety technicians are factory-trained to keep gas-monitoring equipment compliant with OSHA, state and local regulations,鈥� said Carvalho. 鈥淚t is extremely important for facilities like this that house laboratories, dormitories and other areas of potential risk to have a trained professional inspect and service monitoring devices.鈥�
