FALL RIVER, MASSACHUSETTS…

Apollo Safety, Inc. a veteran-owned, Fall River, Mass.-based company specializing in safety products and services, recently announced the formation of an Environmental Health & Safety Division to better serve university, manufacturer, oil and gas refineries, life science, biotech and other large facility clients. The new division will feature extensive offerings as it pertains to gas detection equipment, maintenance and monitoring and compliance.

“Environmental Health & Safety departments at large universities, refineries, manufacturers, etc. have become more commonplace in recent years and that certainly is a step in the right  direction when it comes to the safety of residents, staff and visitors, ” said John V. Carvalho III, president of Apollo Safety, Inc. “Unfortunately, gas detection equipment, maintenance and monitoring are areas where these facilities are a bit behind and that’s where our new division can help.”

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.

In addition, Apollo Safety also provides on-site installation and training and 24/7 service. Apollo Safety technicians are factory-trained. In addition, Apollo offers its own proprietary training program, with five levels of certification.

“Apollo Safety technicians are factory-trained to keep gas-monitoring equipment compliant with OSHA, state and local regulations,” said Carvalho. “It is extremely important for facilities like this that house laboratories, dormitories and other areas of potential risk to have a trained professional inspect and service monitoring devices.”

Apollo Safety provides service in a “state of the art” in-house service center, as well as offering on-site support with factory-trained technicians for both portable and stationary gas detection systems. Apollo uses only factory-original parts for repairs and repairs are made exactly to manufacturer’s requirements. Apollo guarantees a 48-hour turnaround time with pre-approval, though 86 percent of all repairs are completed in five days or less. Software upgrades included with all repairs, if available from the manufacturer.

FALL RIVER, MASSACHUSETTS…

Apollo Safety, Inc. a veteran-owned, Fall River, Mass.-based company specializing in safety products and services, recently announced the formation of a mining division to better the mining industry in general and other entities that work underground. The new division will feature extensive offerings for mines and underground work as it pertains to gas detection equipment, maintenance and monitoring.

“When you work underground, you go to work knowing there’s a possibility you might not resurface. That’s why it’s critical that these facilities have reliable gas detection monitors placed throughout the underground site,” said John V. Carvalho III, president of Apollo Safety, Inc. “Our new mining division will help these mines and other underground facilities select the appropriate system for their needs and make recommendations for a suitable maintenance schedule.”

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 portables gas monitors for rental at weekly or monthly rates. Rental equipment is certified to NIST standards.

In addition, Apollo Safety also provides on-site installation and training and 24/7 service. Apollo Safety technicians are factory-trained. In addition, Apollo offers its own proprietary training program, with five levels of certification.

“Having gas detection systems in place can only save lives if you know they are working properly. That’s what makes having a maintenance program critical,” said Carvalho. “With our new division, we provide maintenance and monitoring services to actually test gas detection systems so the facility knows that it’s working properly rather than just assuming all is well.”

Apollo Safety provides service in a “state of the art” in-house service center, as well as offering on-site support with factory-trained technicians for both portable and stationary gas detection systems. Apollo uses only factory-original parts for repairs and repairs are made exactly to manufacturer’s requirements.

Apollo Safety joins forces with Fall River Chamber to help veterans find work; kicks off campaign at Chamber after hours on Aug. 27

Apollo Safety, Inc. a veteran-owned, Fall River, Mass.-based company specializing in safety products and services, recently announced collaboration with the Fall River Chamber of Commerce to help local veterans find employment. The joint effort, called “Commitment to Valor—Jobs for Heroes”, challenges to Fall River area business owners to commit to interviewing/hiring two or more veterans by the end of 2014.

Commitment to Valor – Jobs for Heroes is loosely based on the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s “Hiring 500,000 Heroes”. The first registration drive for this campaign will be held on August 27, 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., at a Fall River Area Chamber of Commerce after hours at BayCoast Bank at 300 Swansea Mall, Swansea, MA.

“As Americans, I believe that we hold a civic responsibility to aid these heroes by providing job opportunities upon their return from honorable service,” said John V. Carvalho III, president of Apollo Safety, Inc. “Not only is it our duty to provide re-entry opportunities for these brave men and women who fought for our freedom and liberty but provide them guidance and feedback along the way.”

Adds Carvalho, “It is sometimes challenging to re-acclimate or return into a job place that is far less regimented than the military. If we look at how these fine women and men were trained to perform with such precision and detail, we can understand why someone coming into a job with far less organization is a challenge. If we embrace their experience and create the systematic organization in our businesses for them to prosper, it will benefit the entire organization and our society as a whole.”

Fall River area business owners interested in taking part Commitment to Valor – Jobs for Heroes can RSVP to attend the after hours by contacting Arthur Pacheco at 508-676-8226 or apacheco@fallriverchamber.com. Business owners can also register online at http://tinyurl.com/pwk3wz8 .

In addition to collaborating on the Commitment to Valor – Jobs for Heroes, Apollo Safety offers a military internship program for U.S. military veterans and active members of the reserves from all four branches of the military.

The military internship opportunity lasts 90 days, with salary based on skill level and experience. After 90 days, program graduates will receive Apollo Safety’s certificate and employment opportunities with the company will be considered.

To apply for the military internship program, interested parties should send a resume and cover letter to John V. Carvalho III, Apollo Safety, Inc., 57 Walnut Street, Fall River, MA  02780. Resumes and cover letters can also be e-mailed to John@apollosafety.com.
