SafetyShop Introduces New Health & Safety Range for Education

To celebrate the launch of its new and improved interactive website, Safetyshop has announced the introduction of a brand new health and safety category at www.safetyshop.com/education

In this new category Safetyshop has taken the most frequently ordered safety equipment and signs products from organisations within the education sector and put them all in one convenient location. The range includes health and safety related products for organisations included schools, colleges and universities.

Peter Smart, business manager for Safetyshop, explains ‘it’s a one-stop shop for the education sector. For sometime now we have wanted to improve the online version of our 872 page catalogue so we did some research. We asked our customers what they needed the online version of our catalogue to do.”

“As we listened it became very clear almost immediately. They needed a reliable, quick, easy-to-use and secure online ordering process. Our solution, one category, dedicated to one sector with the most essential and up-to-date health and safety products. ’

Safetyshop’s education range will be the first of many new online categories, timed perfectly for the start of the new school year. It will enable existing customers to order online much more quickly and, for those customers yet to order online, an opportunity to view other safety essentials within Safetyshop range.

Product variety now dictates the online categories. The education product range includes eco-friendly whiteboards, sports first aid kits, floor stands, fire extinguishers, salt & spreader kits, line marking applicators and much more. To view the full range visit www.safetyshop.com/education

FotoLum Reflective & Photo Luminescent Vinyl Fire Service Products Provide Improved Safety for First Responders

Fire Fighters are a special breed apart. When everyone is running out of a burning building to save their own lives, fire fighters run in, risking theirs to save others. The lethal dangers inherent in dark, smoky spaces are many. Teamwork is critical for survival and success. A key component in teamwork is knowing where everyone is located.

FotoLum – a leading manufacturer of propriety high-grade photo luminescent vinyl combined with 3M light reflective overlay and 3M double backed adhesive designed for fire applications – has already proven that its products save lives.

Here’s what one fire fighter had to say:
“I have been using the new helmet decals you gave us for a while now. I have had a chance to observe them at 2 fires that we had. In a dark smoke filled apartment fire we had, they were the only thing visible on the firefighters beside me. I have been impressed with their visibility and would recommend them to anyone interested in wearing them.”

Roger Joyner – Dallas Fire/Rescue ( Please visit fotolum.com/testimonials.html for more testimonials )

FotoLumâ„¢ fire service products take safety to the next level by illuminating for hours. By applying the products to uniforms and equipment, entry team members can maintain visual contact in low light and dark, smoky conditions without depending upon a flashlight.
