Brass Knuckle Upgrades GloveOSHA estimates more than 70 percent of hand and arm injuries could be prevented with the proper protective equipment. That means considering form and fit as well as function. A glove that fits well promotes compliance. It’s one that workers will want to wear.
Brass Knuckle SmartCut offers triple-threat benefits with A2 cut protection, amazing dexterity and superior grip. The glove has been improved with better tactile sensitivity, better fit and the same great protection.
BKCR303 starts with ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene fiber for ANSI cut-resistance level A2 protection and thinner, 13-gauge material for dexterity. A non-sticky polyurethane coating on the palm and fingers creates a solid-gripping glove. Polyurethane also delivers enhanced puncture protection and abrasion resistance, all without adding bulk or reducing sensitivity.

System Reduces AccidentsReduce accidents in your plant by effectively coordinating pedestrian and forklift traffic with the EdgeSafe Pedestrian Awareness System from PS Safety Access. Pedestrians incorrectly assume they have the right of way, forklift operators strive to stay on schedule despite large loads and compromised visibility and the result is tens of thousands of accidents each year in the United States alone.
The EdgeSafe Pedestrian Awareness System uses intense, attention-grabbing LED lights to alert the forklift driver to the presence of a pedestrian whenever someone activates the light beam sensor by walking past. This system is both effective and flexible, making it easy to incorporate into existing gate and safety railing setups via multiple configurations. It can be as simple as an individual post with a light beam or as complex as an archway with remote light sensors.

STUDSON Helmet Has Full BrimSTUDSON and Clayco have introduced the first industrial Type II full-brim safety helmet in North America, with STUDSON serving as Clayco’s exclusive provider. The new safety gear will better protect Clayco workers versus the standard type I hard hats that were the industry standard for more than 100 years.
The initial 3,000-unit shipment represents Clayco’s first step in its planned transition to adopt STUDSON safety helmets for all employees across the organization.
In the development of the SHK-1 Full Brim, STUDSON worked closely with Clayco for feedback on what it needed as a company to improve safety and comfort. A key factor in its design was delivering a full-brim version of the SHK-1 style that fit the Clayco brand while offering a familiar feel and wearability but with improved safety.
