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 special division to serve correctional facilities. The new division will feature extensive offerings for these organizations and their facilities as it pertains to gas detection equipment, maintenance and monitoring.

“Correctional facilities and other houses of incarceration have many specific needs and budgetary constraints that can often make the already difficult jobs they have to accomplish even more challenging,” said John V. Carvalho III, president of president of Apollo Safety, Inc. “The new division will help us better serve our existing correctional facility customers and market to other facilities that need better gas detection systems and maintenance programs.”

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, RKI, and GMI. These systems are available for purchase or rental at weekly or monthly rates. Rental equipment is certified to NIST standards and is guaranteed for the entire rental period.

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

“If you have a faulty system at a correctional facility, the stakes are a little higher. Inmates behind bars have to rely on others to bring them to safety should there be a leak,” said Carvalho. “By having a maintenance and monitoring service in place, the correctional facility has the peace of mind of knowing the system in place is always working.”

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 client requirements.

John V. Carvalho III

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 .

Apollo Safety announces healthcare division

John V. Carvalho III, president of Apollo Safety, Inc.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 special healthcare division to serve hospitals, doctor’s offices and other medical facilities. The new division will feature extensive offerings for healthcare facilities as it pertains to gas detection equipment, maintenance and monitoring.

“A gas leak is bad any time, anywhere. At a healthcare facility like a doctor’s office or a hospital, it’s even worse because it impacts people already in a weakened condition who may or may not be able to detect a smell to get help or remove themselves from that area,” said John C. Carvalho III, president of Apollo Safety, Inc.. “With our new healthcare division, we can tailor the detection and monitoring system to the facility to best meet their needs and help prevent tragedies.”

Apollo Safety’s offerings include a wide variety of portable and stationary gas detection systems suitable for large universities, including name brands like Honeywell, Industrial Scientific, RAE Systems, RKI, and GMI. These systems are available for purchase or rental at weekly or monthly rates. Rental equipment is certified to NIST standards and is guaranteed for the entire rental period.

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

“The nature of detection systems is that no news is good news; if the alarm is not going off then all is well. That’s not always the case,” 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 client requirements. Apollo guarantees a 10-day turnaround time with pre-approval, though 66 percent of all repairs are completed in five days or less. Free software upgrades included with all repairs.

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 special division to serve universities and colleges. The new division will feature extensive offerings for educational and institutional facilities as it pertains to gas detection equipment, maintenance and monitoring.

“Apollo Safety has a very long history with several colleges in the northeast region having set up gas detection systems at schools like Harvard, Yale and BU,” said John V. Carvalho III, president of president of Apollo Safety, Inc. “As more and more colleges and universities increase their focus on safety and security, the demand for our services has grown significantly. The new division will help us better serve existing customers and market to universities and colleges who need better gas detection systems.”

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, RKI, and GMI.

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

“It’s not a criticism but most university or college facility managers or their staffs do not have the level of expertise that our technicians do. They also probably do not have the budget to hire a full-time person with that expertise either,” said Carvalho. “Our maintenance and monitoring services provides the best of both worlds in that schools can receive 24/7/365 service at a fraction of the cost of hiring additional staff.”

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 client requirements.
