Electronic
Ear Muffs
Until
now to protect your hearing you've had three options.
1. Don't go where it's noisey - kind of impractical, right?
2. Use the foam ear plugs the company gives you - sure these help
but you're always taking them in and out and they get really dirty.
You really want that in your ears?
3. Use those heavy ear muffs like you see at the airport - they
really block the sound but you have to take them on and off every
time you want to talk to someone.
Electronic ear muffs have a built-in microphone with an automatic
instantaneous on/off switch that triggers whenever the noise (music)
exceeds or falls below 85 dB. When it's loud, the mic cuts off and
your hearing is protected. When it's quiet, the mic turns on and
allows you to hear normally. And the mic volume is adjustable too!
So you don't have to keep taking them on and off.
These are perfect for the shop or stage. If you've ever worked in
front of a speaker cluster during sound check you'll know how valuable
these electronic ear muffs will be.

Petzl
C67 (Navaho V2-Bod)
Full Body Fall
Arrest & Sit Harness.
The best I've
ever worn.
Here's
the newest version of the industrial full body sit harness from
Petzl. New additions to the harness design are a sternal D
ring in the front, a sliding D ring in the back and a steel quick-link
replacing the front caribiner.
|
The Cadillac
of Safety Harnesses! If you go high, you'll want the Petzl C67.
Petzl,
for years known as the best in mountain climbing gear, has produced this
full body / sit harness for industrial use. It's lightweight, comfortable
and there are no loose straps to catch on the truss or lamps.
Of course
this class III harness meets ANSI A10.14-1991 and Z359.1-1992. Not
only does it meet these OSHA standards, but Petzl is the ONLY company
having a third party (Underwriters Laboratories) test the harnesses to
verify that they actually meet these standards. And the Petzl C67
harness has the front sternal "D" ring now required by OSHA.
It
is fully and completely labeled to meet OSHA standards.
The
one piece construction of the C67 makes sure that it will always stay
"made up." There are no loose straps to untangle or figure out how they
connect or how to adjust them.
Putting
on most harnesses is like is like trying to figure out a Chinese jigsaw
puzzle -- not so with the Petzl C67. Put it on and take it off like a
pair of pants. It couldn't be easier. Once you've got it on, just cinch
the two waist straps and then the two leg straps and you're snugged in--waist
and leg adjustments are finished. And the straps won't loosen while you're
working either. Flip the shoulder strap over your head like a pair of
suspenders and clip the INCLUDED steel quick-link into the front tie-in
point. That's all there is to putting on the Petzl C67.
The
padded belt is 5" wide and the padded legs are 3 1/2" wide. There are
five forged D rings: Two in the front--one for sitting work and the sternal
ring for confined space rescue. Two on the sides are for use in positioning
like a telephone lineman. The one in the back attaches to a fall arrest
system. And there are tool loops on the belt too.
The
Petzl C67 comes in two sizes: Small to Large and Large to Extra Large.
The new C67 has greater adjustability that makes it fit better than the
previous models. Now, just because you're tall or have a large chest
measurement doesn't mean you have to wear a large. Pick your
size according to the information below.
| Small
to Large #1: |
waist=
27.6" to 39.4"
leg
= 19.7" to 25.6"
fits
heights to 6'1" approx. |
| Large
to Extra Large #2: |
waist
= 31.5" to 55.1"
leg
= 23.6" to 29.5"
fits
heights to 6'7" approx. |
You
must use a manyard with all safety harnesses.
FAQ:
Hey John, what's the deal with the UL rating? We all know that's for electric.
Answer:
Right you are, but there's more to the story. Underwriters Laboratories
is a private safety testing facility highly regarded for it's electrical
testing, but it's not limited to electrical testing alone.
Around
1996 Petzl was just getting into the industrial full body harness business.
Prior to that they were a premier European mountain climbing manufacturer.
Their harnesses carried the CE label which is a European safety standard
more rigorous than ANSI standards I've teen told. Petzl quickly found
out they still needed the ANSI labels on their harnesses in the United
States in order to comply with OSHA. They also learned that OSHA doesn't
test harnesses to certify they meet OSHA requirements -- the manufacturers
are left to test their own equipment. So simply put, if the manufacturer
says their harness meets OSHA requirements and sews a label
into the harness saying that it does -- then it's what we
call "OSHA approved."
Petzl
felt that self-testing didn't prove anything so they went
to the Underwriter Laboratories as an outside, non-biased third party
testing facility. Now rather than Petzl alone testing their harnesses
and just saying "yup, they comply," a non-biased third party
(UL) also tests the harness and proves that when Petzl says
their harness complies, it really does.
Only
Petzl has outside, non-biased proof that their harnesses are exactly what
they say they are -- and that's a huge "plus" in my book.

EasyLayout
for the Road II (for
road and house carpenters)
Attention all carpenters! Now you can prep your show by computer
and save yourself hours of work that otherwise had to be done by
hand. No more hassle figuring out step by laborious step which pipes
you're going to hang on. No more fiddling with blue prints. EasyLayout
for the Road II has arrived! It's
an easy to use, quick to learn computer program that takes your
show layout information and applies it to the specifics of every
theatre you're going to play and lays out your show in the new theatre
automatically. Your life, my friend, just got easier. And not only
is it great for road show carpenters, but house and educational
carpenters can use it to plan their many shows in one house too--use
it anyway you like...one show, many venues or many shows, one venue.
In
February of 1999, Joe Ippolito (member, IATSE Local 631 and Carpenter
on the Rent [Benny] Tour), wondered if a computer
program could be written to perform all the calculations necessary
to create a hang plot and then store all the information about his
show layout for each city. He asked Jack Culver (member, IATSE Locals
1 and 33 who had recently graduated from the American Institute
for Computer Science) to attack this problem. And attack it he did.
When he came back to Joe with the revolutionary new computer program
for the road carpenter, he opened up a new world for carpenters...a
simplified method to move a show from theatre to theatre. The result
was EasyLayout for the Road.
EasyLayout
for the Road saves the carpenter hours on his paperwork. Here's
how it works: you enter the show’s line set information (desired
position from 0’0”, trim, weight, description, etc.) ONCE, and the
program does the work for you for the whole tour. This is important:
you enter your information ONLY ONCE for a whole tour. And not
only can you save one layout, but Easylayout for the Road
lets you to create multiple versions of the same show with different
hang specifications such as an expanded version, a cut down version,
an arena version, etc. You will lay out an entire show in less than
half the time it would take if you did it by hand.
Over
the years, Jack has tuned and tweaked his program to match the needs
of a number of carpenters adding all the desired functions, bells
and whistles that they wanted to see in a program like this. Today
that enhanced program is EasyLayout for the Road II.
Let's take a look at just how easy it is to run EasyLayout for
the Road II:
The screenshots left are not all inclusive and are shown only
to give you an idea of just some of the many capabilities this program
features and how easy it is to operate. It's a general overview
of all that EasyLayout for the Road II can do for you.

for the Road II? Here's a letter

all) and another from Fred Phelan
