Founded in 1972 Balcan manufacture a range of safety products, which help companies comply with Health & Safety, Duty of Care and environmental requirements.

The Balcan Emergency Life Line (B.E.L.L) is a quick and effective throwing line, weighing only 6-8oz (200-250g) with a reach of up to 40 metres, a staggering 20 meters further than any other line. We consider the B.E.L.L to be the most efficient life saving available and should be carried by everyone. Our most famous rescue was at Niagara Falls when only the B.E.L.L was able to reach two stranded students.

The Balcan FSL Lamp Crusher range provides the safe and controlled crushing of all types of lamps. With their mercury content, fluorescent tubes cannot be thrown away with normal waste. These crushers provide the safest way of reducing volume into our special SOAKUP Sacks, which are a simple way of containing and storing the debris ready for disposal.

The Balcan CompleteCrush Lamp on-site lamp crushing and disposal service is ideal for those unable to justify the purchase of a crusher. The service provides full traceability of waste to help companies comply with Duty of Care and BS ISO14000 requirements.

The Balcan Bottle & Vial Crusher range reduce the volume of waste by up to 80%. In addition they allow liquids to be separated from their glass, or plastic containers which can help reduce their disposal costs. Some clients have eliminated all of their disposal costs, allowing the machine to pay for itself very quickly and achieve considerable savings. These units are available to crush glassware from 4.5litre Winchester bottles, down to 1ml autosampler vials as well as plastic scintillation vials.

The Balcan Hypodermic Needle DESTRUCTOR chops needles into several pieces and removes the nib of the syringe to render it unusable. Accepted by the WHO as the best device of its kind available and awarded Millennium Product status, the DESTRUCTOR should be used by all establishments using hypodermic needles to reduce needlestick injuries. In addition to its Health & Safety benefits, it can save huge amounts of money by the reduction of the requirement of plastic sharps containers, which are commonly overfilled and sometimes stolen to be sold on the black market to drug users.
