Howard Leight introduced QuietDose™,
the only personal dosimeter that measures and records a worker’s actual in-ear exposure to noise over an entire work shift. The introduction is a major advance towards stopping the progression of occupational hearing loss and ensuring employer compliance with hearing safety regulations.
The QuietDose system consists of a small Exposure Smart Protector™ (ESP) Dosimeter that is worn by employees in a shirt pocket or on the back of a hardhat; protective eartips or an earmuff with integrated microphones that record real-time in-ear noise levels; and a connecting harness. An infrared reader enables safety managers to retrieve data from the ESP Dosimeter at the end of each shift of work week and analyze the results on a personal computer.
QuietDose provides the ultimate in accuracy for assessment of personal workplace noise risk and enables Safety Managers to create the most customized and effective Hearing Conservation Programs for each worker.

Supra-Dura® advanced anti-scratch coating provides five times more scratch resistance* than other anti-scratch coatings available in the PPE market.
The lenses are treated with a superior hardcoat that withstands rigorous testing and performs extremely well in the most demanding work environments. Because the lenses resist scratching better, they last longer and require less frequent replacement, an important cost-saving benefit to safety managers. And because this coating results in sustained optical clarity over time, workers are more likely to wear them, resulting in a workforce that is better protected than one that removes safety eyewear due to poor visibility caused by lens scratches. Supra-Dura advanced anti-scratch coating is available exclusively on the Sperian SolarPro™, and Uvex SPECIFIX™ Collection of safety eyewear in the Americas only.

The Miller TurboLite™ Personal Fall Limiter (PFL)
provides a lightweight, cost-effective alternative to shock-absorbing lanyards for fall protection. This new performance-driven, PFL or self-retracting lifeline is compact and lightweight, so that workers no longer need to ‘switch-out’ equipment to maintain a safe fall distance. It meets global standards for international companies.
Its lightweight design provides 6 feet of working capacity lifeline; the unit attaches directly to the harness back D-ring for greater mobility. Its engineered webbing provides greater abrasion resistance and a long service life. It also provides high strength, impact-resistant nylon housing for maximum durability.
Miller TurboLite™ PFL creates added value for people working at height: it eliminates the need for different fall protection equipment to address changes in fall clearance and increases safety by knowing workers are not in danger when jobsite conditions change.
The new Miller SafEscape™ Rescue/Descend Device
is the next generation global solution for rescue/descend. Only unit in the market with extended service life – 7-year interval before an unused unit is required for recertification – it both lowers ownership costs and enhances safety.
When rescuing or evacuating a worker at height, safety is essential. This is the reason why the Miller SafEscape™ ELITE Rescue/Descend Device is user-friendly and can be used to rescue up to two persons. Made for self-rescue, assisted rescue, it is also designed for multiple descents to permit the evacuation of multiple workers or during training sessions requiring repetitive use. Manufactured with highly resistant yet lightweight components (high quality anodized aluminium housing), it makes handling the equipment easier during emergencies. The position and conception of the wheel reduce swinging during lifting operations and make evacuation procedures easier. This new global solution for safe and quick rescue meets all applicable safety standards globally.
Sperian Biosystems PHD6™
is a state of the art multi-gas detector. Very versatile with 5 sensor ports and up to 6 channels of detection and more than 19 sensor options including electrochemical, LIE, PID and infrared sensors, the Biosystems PHD6 is a powerful ally to help keep people safe in confined space.
This reliable and highly configurable gas detector monitors up to six atmospheric hazards simultaneously. Its sensors are available for oxygen, combustible gas, volatile organic compounds, and several different toxic gases. To give users immediate access to everything from time to calibration status, it offers automatic calibration, menu control over all instrument settings and a status bar with easily-understood icons at the bottom of the LCD.
To cut gas calibration expenses and facilitate the monitoring of results, the Biosystems IQ6 Express™ Docking Station has been developed to ensure a high capacity data processing. This automatic calibration station is a data download center for the PHD6 gas detector.
