In addition to Crown Copyright materials and data derived from our services, HSL also undertakes licensing of bespoke IP and products that are generated from our work.

Examples include:

• The Fluorescence Interactive Video Exposure System (FIVES) is a fluorescence monitoring apparatus developed by HSL to allow the measurement of dermal exposure to chemicals in the workplace.  The FIVES IP has been licensed to Safe Training Systems Limited who market the system as the 'Whole Body Surface monitoring Fluorimeter' (SMF3).
• The Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) training model is a flexible system of components (fans, ducts, capture hoods, etc.) used to demonstrate the fundamental principles of an industrial LEV system.  It was developed and validated by HSL scientists and HSE Specialist Inspectors and won a British Safety Industry Federation Product Innovation award in 2008.  The tabletop model can be set up in multiple configurations and used to train designers, engineers and end-users of LEV systems.  The model is now manufactured and sold under licence from HSL by Mechanical Products Limited.  For more information (including purchase details) please see our product pages.
• The Microdrone Air Sampling System was developed and validated by HSL and can sample and detect the levels of volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) that may be present in smoke plumes or chimney emissions, etc. through which an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV or microdrone) may be flown.  The air sampling system is licensed to the UK microdrone suppliers, MW Power Systems Ltd.

If you have an interest in working with HSL to jointly develop new technologies, or wish to discuss the possibilities of licensing some of our bespoke IP, please contact licensing@hsl.gsi.gov.uk
