Honeywell introduces new face shield technology to help protect electrical workers from potentially deadly arc flash
Innovative nanotechnology in face shield improves optical clarity so workers can see more clearly, reduce need to remove shield and expose themselves to deadly risk
Honeywell (NYSE: HON) announced today an innovative new face shield technology with more optical clarity to better protect electrical workers from the potentially deadly electrocution or arc flash.
Salisbury by Honeywell’s new PrismShield arc flash protective face shield incorporates proprietary nanotechnology that allows a wider spectrum of light to enter the lens of the face shield. This greatly improves color recognition and color sharpness for electrical workers and reduces the need to lift the shield to see wires more clearly, particularly in dim light. Electrical workers sometimes lift up the face shield momentarily when there is a need to differentiate wire colors, a practice that leaves them unprotected against arc flash, an explosion that can produce intense ultraviolet light and temperatures up to 35,000 degrees Farenheit.
