New breathalyzer reduces risk of TB contamination

Are your employees scared of submitting to a breath alcohol test for fear of contracting TB and other diseases from a less-than-hygienic testing unit? This is a very real concern because 'blow back' from previous users is one of the potential dangers of breathalyzer testing. PSA has the solution – the Lifeloc FC5 Hornet breathalyzer, engineered to avoid cross-contamination of users.

 
 
 

Accurate alcohol testing

Testing for alcohol in the workplace requires a breathalyzer that's accurate, quick and long lasting if the results are to stand up in a CCMA case.

Lifeloc's range of FC breathalyzers are alcohol specific as they're equipped with full sized 1" platinum fuel cells.

 

Facts about TB

Some symptoms of TB are:

  • A cough for two weeks or more
  • Night sweats
  • Weight loss
  • Loss of appetite
  • Tiredness and muscle weakness
  • Coughing up blood
