It has a gut strap with locking quick-connect buckle, rolled edges and a grommet tongue buckle belt that offers durability along with comfort at the hip. The weight distribution and reinforced seat provide the most ergonomically cor- rect solution in the industry for linemen working at height for extended periods of time, says Capi- tal Safety. It has a built-in contoured comfort and support seat and its unique design moves the user's centre of gravity upward. It has built-in tool snaps and rings including two large S-shaped full-fl oating D-rings at the hips and two small D-rings for a fall restrict device. The product features a leather tape thong and a metal ID plate with vinyl label that comes equipped with i-Safe. It is available in sizes D18 through D30, and the safety features provide the confi dence to function at maximum perfor- mance, according to the manufacturer. www.capitalsafety.com EYE PROTECTION emerALD eYeS The new XP750 safety glasses by ORR Safety combine exceptional protection while offering both comfort and stylish options to the worker. These safety glasses are available in three new frame colours and come in a variety of lens tints. They come with the stan- dard clear, dark and 50/50 lenses and also include a polarized, emerald green mirror or fi re red mirror fi nish for the lens options. The new safety glasses feature a high quality anti-fog coating as an option. The ORR Safety XP750 safety glasses also feature medical grade foam — a closed cell foam that cannot absorb dirt or moisture — which blocks dust and other debris while still allowing ventilation for the user's eyes. The safety glasses are also CSA approved. Workers do not have to sacrifi ce style or comfort for effective safety protection with these protective glasses, says the manufacturer. www.brascosafety.com eYeLAtion KioSK The Rx Eyewear Program Eyela- tion Kiosk by Airgas is simple, saves employees and employ- ers time and comes with a satisfaction guarantee. Airgas believes the safety of workers should not be complex. The company developed an easy three-step ordering process to make it simple for employees to choose their safety glasses and also submit their pre- scription at the same time. The kiosk is available 24-7 which means employees can order their safety glasses on site, at work, whenever they are ready to do so. All that is needed is a valid prescription for eyeglasses from a doctor. A 30-day satisfaction guarantee and a one-year frame warranty ensures the employee is happy with his purchase. To return or exchange, the employee calls a customer service number and a representative will arrange to send a shipping label for hassle-free returns. The kiosk can be installed anywhere in Canada and comes in many languages to accommodate everyone. www.airgas.com biFocAL protectiVe eYeWeAr Gateway Safety's Conqueror MAG bifocal protec- tive eyewear helps meet the needs of workers who need assistance reading small print or performing detailed tasks. Because they provide total eye protec- tion as well as help with vision, workers don't have to switch between regular safety glasses and reading glasses — a move that can open workers up to errors and eye injuries. The glasses maximize small details for workers while making impact hazards easier to identify. Conqueror MAG bifocals are designed to help reduce worker eye strain and improve compli- ance. The glasses are available in multiple diopter levels, from one to three, and the durable, one-piece polycarbonate wraparound lens meets ANSI Z87.1 and CSA Z94.3 standards. The frames have a soft rubber nosepiece and ergonomic contoured temple tips to make them comfortable enough for all-day use. Each pair also comes with an adjustable length eyewear retainer. The lenses are available in a wide range of colours. www.gatewaysafety.com SAFETY MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE oiL AnD gAS SAFetY App White Knight Safety Solutions has designed a health and safety app for the oil and gas industry, along with a web- based dashboard. The app is available in the iOS format for both the iPhone and iPad. The White Knight Safety app comes with better than ever, improved versions of incident reporting. Tailgate meetings, fi eld level hazard assessment (FLHA) forms, daily sign-in, hazard cards, fi eld observation cards, near-miss reporting, vehicle inspection forms and journey manage- ment are some of the features. According to White Knight Safety, customers cite three key benefi ts from using the software: reducing costs by converting paper-based documents to digital and managing all unstructured content in one system; enhancing compliance controls by using digital signatures, time stamped documents and having the ability to correct defi ciencies and real-time data allowing for greater transparency; and sharing documents and eliminat- ing email attachments, fi le-size and security issues — now customers can simply share documents from within the dashboard. www.whiteknightsafety.com cHeMIcaL ResPoNse aPP SAFER Systems, a chemical emergency response solutions provider, has announced the release of SAFER Mobile Response, a free chemical emer- gency response app for tablets and smartphones. The app integrates the 2012 emergency response guidebook with the power of Google Maps, Google Traffi c and live weather updates as well as weather forecasting. Crucial data is at the fi ngertips of fi rst responders and emergency services personnel when called to the scene of a hazardous materi- als incident. SAFER's app has taken static, printed information and made it more easily accessible by converting the ERG protective distance charts into visual hazard zones and identifying key points of concern using Google Maps and Google Places. The app takes the widely accepted Emergency Response Guidebook hazard zone guidance and enhances it with real-time weather and traffi c data. It aims to help responders plan their way to the incident scene and identify key municipal amenities at risk. The app is available at no cost via iTunes or the Google Play store. www.safersystem.com ADVERTISERS' DIRECTORY TOOLS OF THE TRADE Compiled by Mallory Hendry Acklands-Grainger Inc. www.acklandsgrainger.com . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 24 Brady Canada Inc. www.BradyCanada.ca/GHSWebinar . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 12 Brock University www.brocku.ca/education/futurestudents/adulted . . . . . . . . . 7 Bruce Power www.brucepower.com . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9 Carswell www.carswell.com . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 23 Desjardins Payroll & HR Services www.desjardins.com . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10 Electrolab Training Systems www.electrolab.ca . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 20 Encon Safety Products www.enconsafety.com/corrosion . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 21 Grace Industries Inc. www.graceindustries.com . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 19 Great-West Life Assurance Company www.workplacestrategiesformentalhealth.com. . . . . . . . . . . . 11 Industrial Scienti c Corp www.indsci.com . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 13 Mount Vernon Mills www.mvmfr.com . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4 MSA The Safety Company www.msasafety.com . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2 STC Footwear www.stcfootwear.com . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 18 Watson Gloves www.watsongloves.com . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 14
