Hearing Dogs for Deaf PeopleThroughout 2012 and 2013, our chosen charity is Hearing Dogs for Deaf People which has a direct association with the industry that we are involved in.

Hearing Dogs for Deaf People is a national charity and centre of excellence in training hearing dogs to alert deaf people to everyday household sounds and danger signals in the home, work place and in public buildings.

Hearing Dogs was launched at the world famous Crufts dog show in 1982. Since then we have created over 1,600 life-changing partnerships between deaf people and hearing dogs in the UK. There are currently over 750 working partnerships in the country.

Join in and support

You can help us support Hearing Dogs for Deaf People in a number of ways. You can donate directly through their website or you can enter our Noise in Action Photography Competition.

The winners of the competition will be featured in our 2013 calendar with all proceeds being donated to the charity. This calendar will be on sale in late 2012 so there’s plenty of time to enter and win.

We will also be holding a competition at the 2013 Safety & Health Expo in aid of Hearing Dogs for Deaf People.

When you get your noise equipment back after calibration, check that the work has been done correctly.  It is vital that the calibration work has been done in accordance with the standards to which the instrument was designed.

What this means is that it is not sufficient to just check the instrument using an Acoustic Calibrator.  Follow this check list to make sure that the instrument has been calibrated correctly and that you have the information you need for your records. Continue reading »

Before you send your instrument for calibration, check the following. Any test or calibration laboratory must be able to give you this information. Without it, you should question if they are capable of calibrating your instrument correctly. Continue reading »

The simple answer is that we designed and manufactured your instrument so we know it inside out.

We have all of the information, procedures and equipment needed to service and calibrate your equipment and if there’s anything wrong with it, we can fix it before it’s calibrated. Continue reading »
