Current economic conditions create difficult challenges for companies in high-risk industries across the U.S. Safety managers are still charged with protecting workers against dangerous hazards like direct flame, extreme heat, molten metal and arc flash, but their budgets are shrinking, their job sites are changing, and they are facing increased pressure to be in compliance with industry standards.

On the positive side, more and more companies are recognizing the need to provide improved personal protective equipment (PPE) for their employees and the availability of new technologies to help them do this. Safety managers are realizing that no threat, risk or hazard is too small to overlook. Even a brief moment of exposure on a job site could change a worker’s life forever. Therefore, an increasing number of companies want to equip their employees with better head-to-toe protection.
