North Shore Credit Union, has

at Norcu, an insurance-related

FEDERAL FUNDS

A RICHMOND-based company
has received federa? funding to
develop and launch a specialized
communications system which
features a safe design and custom
electronics to screen out amplified
sounds within confined spaces.

Con-Space Communications will
receive a federal loan of $346,582
from the department of Western
Economic Diversification to help
develop and launch the new pro-
duct.

Until now, restricted working
areas like aircraft fuel tanks have
made it impossible to use any
form of communication except
morse code tapping or flashing
lights.

But growing concern about the
safety of workers in these spaces

_ has led both Canadian and United °
States regulatory bodies to devel-

op rules requiring a better com-
munications system.

Con-Space president Terry [b-
betson said the company has al-
ready received an order from Ca-

. tadian Airlines and strong interest

from other companies.

“As well, this device has ap-
plications in the petroleum, chem-
ical, mining, grain and foundry
industries,’’ said Ibbetson.

The four-channel intercom
system allows an Outside Safety
person to maintain continuous
contact with up to three people

working inside a confined space.

BUSINESS WARNING

THE BETTER Business Bureau

* (BBB) is warning consumers to

look carefully at its decals on
business premises before assuming
they are dealing with a BBB
member.

‘“*We continually receive com-
plaints from people who looked
quickly at the decal, not realizing
it was out of date, > said Kaye
Baker, assistant general manager
of the BBB of Mainland B.C.

She added that the confusion
could occur because a business has
failed to renew its membership,
moved, changed ownership or
because the business has been ex-
pelled from membership for a vi-
olation of the BBB rules.

‘*When a business moves, for
example, the decal may be inher-
ited by a new tenant who because
of past business performance
would not qualify for BBB
membership.”'
