Health & safety hub adds latest in PPE technology

Of particular interest is an extended range of products from 3M. Following its acquisition of the specialist producer of fall arrest equipment, Capital Safety, 3M now offers an extended range of harnesses, lanyards, self-retracting lifelines and engineered systems.

Other 3M products include PELTOR LEP-100 level dependent earplugs, which help to provide hearing protection in noise and situational awareness in quiet environments, and 3M ProTac III slim headset units, which offer a slimmer cup for less-noisy environments.

Other products in the expanded offering include the latest ergonomically designed and water- and dust-resistant safety shoes and boots from Honeywell, and Rubbermaid Slim Jim disposal bins, which have been designed to help promote recycling and improve productivity.

RS also offers its own range of products under the RS Pro brand. This impressive range of cost-effective, high-quality products includes safety glasses and goggles, bump caps, disposable respirators, spill control and clean-up equipment and a full selection of lockout equipment and kits for site isolation applications.

Effective safety regimens and personnel protection programs have been proven to have a positive effect on a company’s bottom line. When tied in to a holistic, company-wide safety ethos, the benefits escalate and the risks reduce.
