A novel wind-powered device has been developed in Australia that can help boost safety on operating sites.

The units rotate in a light breeze, preventing the build-up of dust on the reflecting surfaces. This means that there is no need for regular cleaning to maintain conspicuity. The Spinflector is designed to fit on a 50mm PVC delineator post and contains a series of brushes to clean dust and grime from reflectors. The device has a built-in wind vane to power the brushes.
