A COMPANY has won a Ministry of Defence contract for an electrical safety testing device.
Peterlee-based Rigel Medical’s new field service kit has been specified for testing the electrical safety of devices used at dozens of MoD medical, veterinary and dental centres around the world.
Fifty units are being supplied as part of a deal that will mean Rigel provides training and support to MoD trainers, who will instruct Army, Navy and RAF technicians on how to use the testers properly in areas of military action, including Afghanistan.
