Cirrus Research achieves Highly Commended at the BSIF Safety Awards

Cirrus Research (UK) is proud to announce that its new Optimus Green sound level meter has been awarded a Highly Commended within the British Safety Industry Federation (BSIF) Product Innovation category at this year’s BSIF Safety Awards.

The sound level meter was awarded the accolade at a prize giving ceremony that took place at the Product and Innovation Hub at this year’s Safety & Health Expo.

The prestigious BSIF Product Innovation Award recognises products that are new and innovative and that will contribute to improvements in occupational safety and health.

James Tingay, Group Marketing Manager at Cirrus Research comments: “We are delighted to have received this accolade; the BSIF Product Innovation Award is a prestigious category and to have the Optimus Green sound level meter recognised by both industry professionals and end users is a fantastic achievement. All the team at Cirrus Research who have tirelessly designed, developed and manufactured this revolutionary sound level meter feel a great sense of satisfaction and are proud that it has been recognised in such a manner.”

James commenting on the development of the Optimus Green sound level meter: “Cirrus Research found that restrictions in budgets have produced a demand for an instrument that can be used for environmental, occupational and industrial hygiene noise applications whilst maintaining the simplicity and ease of use found in instruments aimed specifically at the occupational health and safety market. The Optimus Green addresses this need and demand in a manner that is both simple and efficient.”

Cirrus Research launched the Optimus Green in September 2010. Designed for environmental, occupational and industrial hygiene noise, Optimus Green is the third range of sound level meters in the Optimus family.

The introduction of Optimus Green allows users to collect a wide range of noise parameters, together with the very highest levels of performance, in a package that is both simple and efficient to use. It combines the existing features from the Optimus range with the latest technological innovation and added functionality that is necessary for environmental noise to be accurately measured. The measurement parameters of the instruments allow occupational, industrial hygiene and environmental noise to be measured simultaneously. This is not a complicated or technical process for the user, they are simply provided with the choice of what information to review at the end of the data capture period. Even if the user has difficulties displaying the right function to take the measurement, the Optimus Green measures all the noise functions at the same time, thus ensuring that there is no risk of recording the wrong data.
