Carbon monoxide a risk with secondary heat sources

February 17, 2015 //  by admin

John V. Carvalho, President & CEO, Apollo Safety
John V. Carvalho, President & CEO, Apollo Safety

FALL RIVER, MASSACHUSETTS…

Things like kerosene heaters, gas-fueled generators and other backup heat sources can be huge difference makers during the inclement currently weather underway in the northeast. Unfortunately for many consumers, these backup plans come with a number of carbon monoxide risks if not used properly.

“When there’s a nor’easter, it’s cold, snowing and you’ve lost power, all you’re thinking about is staying warm without thought of the possible dangers,” said John Carvalho, president of Apollo Safety, Inc., a veteran-owned, Fall River, Mass.-based company specializing in safety products and services. “Sadly, you hear of a number of tragedies nationwide about people getting sick or worse from carbon monoxide caused by generators and backup heat sources.”

When using a generator, Carvalho cautions consumers to use outdoors only in a completely open and dry area, positioned away from vents, windows and doors to prevent carbon monoxide from entering the home. He also advises plugging appliances directly into the generator. For providing power to items within the home, use a heavy-duty, outdoor-rated extension cord.

The cold winter weather also prompts homeowners, apartment dwellers and even workers at some places of business to seek out secondary heat sources. Carvalho notes that some of these can also produce carbon monoxide and be risky to those nearby. Specifically, he cites kerosene heaters as an effective secondary heat source that comes with potential risk.

“When using a kerosene heater you do need to provide it with adequate fresh air. You want to avoid closing yourself up in a single room with a Kerosene heater, keep adjacent rooms, and doors open,” said Carvalho. “If your house is very air tight –most newer homes are–you need to crack open a window, maybe leave a flue open on your fire place if you have one, this creates a natural draw, continuously circulating fresh air.”

Adds Carvalho, “The law in Massachusetts says you need to have carbon monoxide detectors on floors where there’s a bedroom. This will not protect you if you’re not on a floor with a detector. And if you’re in a place of business where detectors are not required, you need to be even more careful that the room where you are using your heater has a flow of fresh air.”

Apollo Safety’s offerings include a wide variety of portable and stationary gas detection systems suitable for large universities, including name brands like Industrial Scientific, RAE Systems by Honeywell, RKI Instruments, and GMI. Apollo Safety also offers portable gas monitors for rental at weekly or monthly rates. Rental equipment is calibrated to NIST standards.

She continued, “The new features work best with Google Chrome or Firefox. You may use Internet Explorer, but the new features are not supported by it.”

Ms. Shanahan outlined the new features:

Users are now able to have the Profit & Loss and the Balance sheet open at the same time. The Multi-tab/Multi-window feature allows users to click on the Menu bar, open a link in a new tab or window and also drag to a second screen. Simply clicking and holding the Back key enables access to previous Window History.

The new Toolbar offers a magnifying glass as the traditional “find” feature; the plus sign as the “create” option for the creation of invoices, bills, checks; as well as a timer which allows you one- click access to recently edited transactions.

The Gear Toolbar, found at the top right of the screen, will get you to all core accounting preferences and settings such as lists, users, settings, reconciling transactions and more.

Plymouth Pats fan’s offer has a nice ring to it. Local Plymouth businessman and Patriots season ticketholder Scott Hokanson offers to update Coach Belichick’s boat

Coach Belichick's boat

February 3, 2015 //  by admin

Coach Belichick's boat
Coach Belichick’s boat V Rings needs updating. Scott Hokanson of Plymouth wants to help.

PLYMOUTH, MA…

As a loyal season ticketholder for the past 22 years, Scott Hokanson has a vast knowledge of Patriots history and team trivia. That includes knowing the name of Coach Bill Belichick’s boat, V Rings. So after witnessing one of the most remarkable finishes in Super Bowl history in person at Super Bowl XLIX, Hokanson came up with a unique way to express his gratitude: to pay for Coach Belichick to update the name of his boat to VI Rings.

“I have a beautiful bride, five healthy children and a great business, but I promise you, I am not exactly proud of how happy this win makes me and how much fun I had on Sunday night in Phoenix,” joked Hokanson, a Plymouth businessman and resident. “But seriously, that was such an incredible experience that I would like to do something to express my respect and gratitude.  Teaming Coach Belichick up with a local artist who can re-letter his beautiful Grady White is the least I can do.”

The “VI Rings” refers to the number of championship teams Coach Belichick has been a part of. In addition to four championships with the New England Patriots, he had been an assistant with two Super Bowl Champion New York Giants teams.

“His track record for excellence is beyond comparison,” said Hokanson. “I sincerely hope he does take me up on this genuine offer. He and his teams have given the people of New England so much joy. This seems an appropriate gesture.”

Hokanson has yet to reach out to Belichick directly, but he’s hoping the message of his offer reaches the Coach through other channels.

“I imagine he has more than a few people trying to get a hold of him right now,” said Hokanson. “Hopefully, this reaches people around him so he can reach out to me directly.”

Hokanson is the owner of Brabo Benefits, an employee benefits firm located in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Coach Belichick can reach Scott directly at 617-733-6471 or shokanson@brabobenefits.com to accept the offer.

For more information on Brabo Benefits, please visit www.brabobenefits.com.

A friend with benefits – Brabo Benefits

Based in Plymouth, Massachusetts, Brabo Benefits provides the full package of employee benefits solutions, including: health, dental, life, disability, and stop loss insurance.
