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.

School is in session. Apollo Safety announces college/university division

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. 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.

“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. 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.

Apollo Safety, a veteran-owned, Fall River, Mass.-based company specializing in safety products and services, recently announced an expansion of its fire department services division. That expansion will include extended offerings as it pertains to gas detection equipment and training.

“The tragedies of 9/11 and the recent Boston Marathon bombing jolted the general public’s awareness of the wide variety of dangerous situations first responders like firefighters and EMTs can face. It goes way beyond the perception of rescuing cats from trees and putting out small house fires,” said John V. Carvalho III, who along with his wife Tracy opened Apollo Safety back in 1995. He added, “It’s because of the extraordinary circumstances that firefighters face that we have increased our product and services offerings and added dedicated sales reps and customer service personnel specifically trained to serve fire safety professionals.”

From a product standpoint, Apollo Safety offers safety equipment and clothing ranging from eye and face protection to flame resistant rainwear/suits and headwear to footwear. That also includes hazardous storage and handling equipment, ARC safety equipment, janitorial supplies and more.

The cornerstone of the expansion will be gas detection systems. Apollo Safety offers a wide variety of portable and stationary gas detection systems—Industrial Scientific, RAE Systems, RKI, and GMI. In addition to selling gas detection systems, Apollo Safety provides on-site installation and training and 24/7 service. Gas detection systems are available for purchase or rental.

“The key part to our expanded services is evaluation and recommendation. Our technicians and sales staff have the experience to assess the specific needs and requirements of a facility and recommend the appropriate solution in terms of gas detection systems,” said Carvalho.

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.
