Product Focus: The NIA Insulation Sampler

The NIA Insulation Sampler provides hand samples of a variety of generic mechanical insulation product types and accessories in one portable, fully enclosed kit. Each sample has its own compartment, and an illustrated product schematic guide helps identify the materials included.

The sampler can be used as a practical resource for:

▶ Employee training and education

▶ Internal reference and resource libraries

▶ Customer and sales discussions

▶ Presentations and demonstrations

▶ Introducing others to common mechanical insulation materials

Designed to represent many of the major mechanical insulation product types, the NIA Insulation Sampler offers a convenient, hands-on way to support education and industry conversations.

OSHA Safety Update: Safety Culture

OSHA’s Voluntary Protection Programs (VPP) recognize employers and workers with strong safety and health programs and low injury rates. Through VPP, management, employees, and OSHA work together to prevent injuries and illnesses through training and hazard prevention. This program offers a model for employee involvement.
