NEW PRODUCT OF THE YEAR
OH&S Celebrates 13th
New Product of the Year Contest
Occupational Health & Safety’s New Product of the Year contest successfully brought in over 65 entrants this year.
TBY SYDNY SHEPARD
hey always say 13 is a lucky number and for some safety manufacturers and service providers this year, it will be very lucky indeed.
OH&S kicked off its 13th annual New Product of the Year contest in April and since then the awards program has garnered the attention of over 40 companies in the safety industry. Each company had the chance to submit their innovative new safety products and services for a chance at a trophy in the prestigious contest.
This year, the OH&S team introduced new categories indicative
of the growth of the market. These categories included Wearable Devices, Fall Protection: Dropped Objects and new subcategories for Hand Protection.
The lucky winners for the contest will be chosen by an independent panel of judges and featured in a special section of the November/December issue of OH&S. You can also find exclusive coverage of our New Product of the Year contest at ohsonline.com/ npoy.
