The FLIR E8 Thermal Imaging Camera has been named as a winner of the Red Dot Award: Product Design 2014, one of the most sought-after accolades for quality product design.

In a recent online poll of 2000 people from OnePoll on behalf of the Gas Safety Trust, only 13% of those questioned were able to identify the main symptoms and characteristics of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning.

Carbon monoxide CO is a killer gas that can strike without warning to both humans and pets it’s also odourless, tasteless and colourless so it can be hard to detect by human senses alone. Every year in the UK people of all ages die or suffer from carbon monoxide poisoning. Some have even suffered brain damage and paralysis although this is most likely if the individual has breathed in CO over a long period.

Latest proposals by the Government designed to give employers more control over what their apprentices learn could end up causing more harm than good.

Winning an award is not easy, but against hard competition at the recent 2013 Electrical Times award held in London, The Metrel MI3125 BT Eurotest Combo Multifunction tester took the top prize in its category, the most "Innovative Test & Measurement Product of the Year".
