In March of 2020, the world shuttered in a way that many of us had never seen before. This set back impacted many industries,andsomemayneverrecover.Thoseinthesafety industry, though, never quieted. The pandemic brought
out the best and most bright innovations from companies who understood it was their duty to create a way for workers around the glove to return to worn, or continue their essential services in the safest way possible.
Safety companies and manufacturers traditionally would get the chance to highlight their new products at in-person trade shows, but over the last year, that was out of the question. OH&S wanted to create a space where we could highlight some of the most recently launched products in the safety sphere, to bring awareness to the latest products and services that safety directors
and managers may not have known about.
In this section you’ll find gas monitors, respirators, footwear,
safety training services, personal protective equipment and more. While browsing this section is not the same as an in-booth experience at a trade show, we do hope that you will take the time to look over the new product offerings, visit the websites of those listed and perhaps even make a list of companies to visit the next time you find yourself at a safety show.
If you’d like to browse this section digitally, you can do so on our website at ohsonline.com by navigating to the “Products” tab in the navigation bar.
