The magazine’s sixth annual contest drew more than 60 entries and 26 winning products.
Winners will be recognized at this year’s National Safety Council Congress & Expo in
San Diego.
DALLAS, September 5, 2014 – 19 companies, including multiple winners CBS ArcSafe,
Inc., Ergodyne, Honeywell Safety Products, and MSA Safety, were honored today for
winning Occupational Health & Safety magazine’s sixth annual New Product of the Year
contest. Winners will be recognized during the 2014 National Safety Congress & Expo
taking place at the San Diego Convention Center September 15-17. Awards will be sent
to the winning companies following the show.
This year’s contest attracted more than 60 products in 22 award categories, with an
independent panel of three highly qualified judges choosing the winners.
“Year six of our New Product of the Year contest continued to prove how innovative are
the manufacturers competing in the fast-growing global safety and health marketplace.
Informing our readers and online audience about the best new products across the
spectrum of safety and health has always been part of our magazine’s mission, and this
contest has elevated that mission to an exciting new level. All of the most important PPE
categories were hotly contested this year, especially the Vision Protection, Foot
Protection, Protective Apparel, and Hand Protection categories, but we also saw EHS
Software, Emergency Showers & Eyewash, Industrial Hygiene, and both Online and Onsite Training categories attract multiple entries,” OH&S Editor Jerry Laws said. “I
congratulate all of this year’s entrants on their fine work and thank them for participating.
We hope they’ll enter our seventh annual contest next year, as well.”
