Strata Products
Strata Products supplies portable inflatable refuge chambers, steel refuge chambers and breathing air systems to the international mining industry. PORTABLE INFLATABLE REFUGE CHAMBER Strata Products provides the portable fresh air bay - an inflatable refuge chamber that can be folded up and stows away in a steel container when not in use. This container is called the Strata Products fresh air bay skid. The skid also stores compressed air and oxygen cylinders, a CO2 scrubbing system and multiple other supplies needed to sustain life for 96 hours. The entire system is completely powerless. In the event of an emergency, the Bays are deployed directly from the skid by activating a flow of compressed air. The air flow inflates the unit it minutes. Miners enter and remain in the chamber until rescued. Medical grade oxygen cylinders and an active CO2 scrubbing system maintain breathable air inside the chamber. The CO2 scrubber is a patent pending design that is powered by compressed air. Additional supplies provided include; water, food, a gas monitor, flashlights, first aid kits and a toilet. The fresh air bays are constructed from durable, flame retardant nylon based material. The edges are welded to be air tight, while the ...

HR, parking inspectors and other jobs from hell
There are some jobs you would hate to do. Like being a parking inspector or one of those guys who has to do repossessions. And there's more. Who, for example, would want to work in Human Resources, the department and process-mad hand-maidens of management hated by everyone? Earlier this year, entrepreneur Luke Johnson wrote a piece in the Financial Times attacking HR as useless bureaucracy, claiming he has downsized it in several companies and the business was better for it. "HR is like many parts of modern businesses: a simple expense, and a burden on the backs of the productive workers," Johnson says. "Other divisions that can become the enemy include IT, legal and marketing. They don't sell or produce: they consume. They are the amorphous support services." Now, a lot of HR people that I meet are incompetent but then, more often than not, they work for bad management. Which is why Johnson is unfair. HR is just doing what it's told to do. Still, you have to feel sorry for HR people. They're the fall guys who have to deal with all the results of bad management, from harassment, to firings and suspensions to personality clashes with other ...

Wesfarmers has joined the list of victims of Western Australia's gas supply crisis.The company told the ASX yesterday that the cost could be $20 million a month off pre-tax earnings for as long as the supply problems last.The news saw investors give the company a touch up and sold off the shares by around 3.5%, or $1.36 to $37.40.It joins the likes of Babcock and Brown Power, Fonterra, BHP, Newcrest, Alcoa and Minara Resources in experiencing some financial impact from the gas supply problems that followed the Varanus Island blast at the start of the month.That June 3 pipeline explosion has cut 30% of the state's natural-gas supplies.
