Protection Update
ISEA has produced Protection Update as a quarterly supplement to EHS Today (formerly Occupational Hazards) since 2005 to raise awareness about the importance of members' products in keeping workers out of harm's way.
For July 2010, Protection Update (the online edition is here) leads with an article appropriate for summer - preventing insect-borne diseases. Greg Schrab of Ergodyne explains the dangers of Lyme disease and West Nile virus, and how you can ward off the bugs with with insect repellant and treated apparel. There's also a profile of member company US Safety (the first in a series of members), standards updates, and regular features including "Construction Corner," "Making Workers Safer arounthe Nation," and "Safety Equipment Works for You."
The April 2010 edition (available online here) focuses on PPE for women, with a Joe Walker article about how manufacturers are designing and building equipment to meet the special needs of women in the workforce. You'll also find product information from ISEA member companies on eye protection, fall protection, hand protection. head protection, hearing protection, protective apparel and respirator made with women in mind. You'll also find information on ISEA activities in standards and government programs, plus regular features "Making workers safer around the nation," "Safety equipment works for you" and the "OSAHA $100,000 club of safety violations."
Leading off the February 2010 Protection Update (available online here) is a feature from Sperian Hearing Protection's Brad Wit on how bad assumptions about hearing protection can be hazardous. This issue also carries reports on ISEA's revised ANSI emergency eyewash and shower standard and enhanced Web site. The back-cover "Safety Equipment Works for You" feature reports on Bullard and MSA products that have saved lives or prevented serious injuries, and the "Making Workers Safer Around the Nation" column carries newson new services from Capital Safety, Kappler, Speakman Co. and Howard Leight/Sperian Hearing Protection.
The next Protection Update will be part of the July EHS Today. Contact Joe Walker at ISEA for more information.
