Honeywell Safety Products today announced a host of new, innovative safety products — across a wide range of applications — to help safety managers build an enduring culture of safety that minimizes injuries and maintains a more protective and productive workplace. The products were introduced at the opening of the 2012 National Safety Council (NSC) Congress & Expo in Orlando, Florida.

“A culture of safety exists when safety managers inspire workers to change their behaviors and make safe choices on their own for their own protection — as well as that of their friends and co-workers,” said John Montigny, Chief Marketing Officer, Honeywell Safety Products.

Studies have shown that an enduring culture of safety can be the most cost-effective and proven accident-prevention process — by avoiding workplace safety incidents before they occur, reducing the risk of injury, cutting incident rates, and improving productivity.

“In pursuit of that critical goal, today at NSC, Honeywell Safety Products is introducing new stylish, comfortable, high-performance personal protective equipment (PPE) that employees will want to wear and that meet the most stringent regulations. In addition, we are announcing the availability of new behavior-based safety education resources designed to encourage the proper use of PPE and the adoption of safe workplace cultures,” Montigny said.


The products and solutions announced today include:
