Why are companies not known for selling safety products, such as Staples, Cintas, Caterpillar, Honeywell, and Kimberly-Clark all here at the 2013 NSC Congress & Expo -- a number of them with expansive floor space? (It should be noted that Honeywell owns well-known safety ‘legacy’ brands such as Uvex, Miller Fall Protection, Salisbury FR and Howard Leight hearing protection.)
And why are national traditional maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) distributors such as Grainger and Fastenal making a show of it here in Chicago? Airgas is a different kind of distributor, and has also pushed heavily into safety.
