Apollo Safety forms new division to serve correctional facilities

FALL RIVER – Apollo Safety Inc. has formed a new division to serve correctional facilities.

The company, which specializes in safety products and services, issued a press release about the new division, which it said will feature “extensive offerings” for the facilities, such as 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,” John V. Carvalho III, president of Apollo Safety, said in a statement. “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 offers portable and stationary gas detection systems suitable for large universities, including brands like Industrial Scientific, RAE Systems, RKI and GMI. The systems are available for purchase or rental at weekly or monthly rates, the release said.

Apollo Safety also provides on-site installation and training as well as 24/7 service.

“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,” Carvalho said. “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.”
