Whether it be the debilitating heat or major storm hazards, it is no secret that summer can be very risky for individuals and families.
When you work with PME, you are guaranteed to be secured with one of our proud distributors who share our same vision and values.
TPS/PVC cable insulation can be compromised by a chemical reaction if it is in contact with polystyrene. Make sure you check the insulation is undamaged before installing this cable and always follow the cable manufacturer’s instructions.
The plasticiser in cable insulation PVC to make it flexible and tough is not chemically bonded to the PVC and will slowly leach out of the cable over time. The process of cable losing plasticisers increases when the cable is in contact with other materials, such as polystyrene and polyurethane. The leaching of the plasticiser will cause the cable’s PVC material to become harder, more brittle and prone to cracking. This could mean live conductors will be exposed, and possibly result in electric shock or fire.
There are many different causes of electric shock, but one particularly hazardous risk comes from unterminated live cables.
In the last year, there were over 300 electrical shocks reported to the Queensland Electrical Safety Office—and ten per cent of those reports related to unterminated cables becoming live. Anyone coming into contact with unterminated live cables is at significant risk of serious injury or death from electric shock.
But there are a few easy ways to manage this hazard:
Like all other materials that make up a building, your plumbing and pipes will eventually deteriorate. Unfortunately, it’s a big job to replace them, but a very important one—for many reasons, including the health and safety risks that come from corroding and decaying tubing.
Over a few decades, your plumbing system will rust and corrode, and eventually it’ll start causing leaks or floods, which could be raw sewage.
That will obviously cause serious damage to your building, which will easily cost thousands of dollars in repairs. And if it’s your home, you’ll be counting both the financial and the sentimental loss.
These disasters are thankfully rare, because you’ll usually get plenty of warning signs before they happen.
But if you take the time to properly assess your plumbing system, you’ll be able to determine when it’s time to replace it -and that could be sooner than you thought.
Commercial buildings use a lot of electricity. With compulsory emergency lighting, reams of telecommunications and data usage, and air-conditioning blasting for most of the hours in a day, there’s a lot of demand on their switchboards. And if your commercial building is old, and the original switchboard is still in use, it could be prone to overload—power consumption was a lot lower a few decades ago, and these panels simply weren’t designed to withstand what we throw at them now.
Matthew Stubbings and Violet Apisah coming off the back of great performances in the recent Port Moresby Pacific Games have again impressed on the international stage, this time at the Samoa 2015 Commonwealth Games collecting 2 bronze medals. It was an amazing achievement for the young stars.
The PNG Tennis Team recently competed in the 2015 Pacific Games in Port Moresby collecting 4 Gold medals and 2 Silver, the most successful games in the PNG tennis history. It was a great reward for the members of the team and everyone involved with PNG tennis, a lot of hard work has been put in and to achieve such fantastic results was beyond all expectations.
