Chief Operating Officer of the company.
When vision is impaired, quality of life and the ability to work experience a drastic and
unfortunate decline. Preventing eye injuries should be a top task on every safety
professional's to-do list.
Scott Safety, a global leader in innovative personal protective equipment and safety devices,
has introduced the Protégé SG, a versatile new reusable single gas monitor that is
configurable to detect 13 different gases.

The main argument for safety is obvious - to protect workers from injury and death.
But there is a financial argument to make as well. Keeping safety programs, equipment and training in your budget can, in the long run, be the less expensive route. Studies show that
a good safety and health program can save $3 to $6 for every dollar invested.
