The food and drink industry is the largest manufacturing sector in the UK. Employing over 450,000 workers across 11,000 businesses¹, its influence extends internationally, firmly establishing Britain as a dietary powerhouse. With growth expected to exceed a further 12% over the coming years, the industry value is beyond measure.

Freezing conditions can have a significant impact on safety showers. When temperatures drop, water inside pipework can solidify, leaving the unit inoperable at the very moment it is needed most.

When hazardous chemicals come into contact with the skin or eyes, every second counts. Emergency safety showers are designed to provide immediate decontamination — but the temperature of the water is just as critical as the water flow.

In workplaces where hazardous chemicals are handled, safety showers and eyewash stations are critical pieces of emergency equipment. When seconds count, these systems provide rapid decontamination that can prevent serious chemical burns or eye injuries. But simply installing them isn’t enough; regular checks and testing are essential to ensure they’ll function properly in an emergency.

As of 2025, the marine offshore sector is navigating a wave of growth driven by both traditional oil & gas and the rising tide of renewables.

Construction sites are a whirlwind of activity. With the vastness of activities comes a variety of hazards to which workers are exposed, making accidents prevalent and often unprecedented. Yet, beneath the service of this bustling industry lies a less visible, but equally significant danger: chemical hazards. While hard hats and safety boots are essential for protecting against physical injury, the risks posed by hazardous chemicals often go unnoticed until it’s too late.

Ensuring that communities and businesses have access to safe, clean water each day is a top priority for the water and wastewater sector. From drinking water to crop irrigation to support the food supply, properly treated wastewater is essential to prevent disease and protect the environment.

According to forecasts, global oil output is predicted to reach a staggering 103.9 million barrels per day in 2025.

Natural gas currently makes up about a quarter of the world’s energy provisions. In a global effort to reduce our carbon emissions, more and more countries are turning to liquefied natural gases (LNG) as an alternative to traditional fossil fuels. LNGs emit 30% less carbon dioxide than oil and up to 60% less than traditional coal plants.

When it comes to workplace safety, guidelines around hazardous substances and decontamination can often lack clarity.

Semiconductors are the backbone of modern electronics, enabling the functionality of countless devices we rely on daily.

When the temperatures drop with the winter months most site managers won’t consider the effect on their emergency showers.
