INTERNET PORTAL OFFERS ACCESS TO HAND PROTECTION INFORMATION AND SEARCHABLE PRODUCTS
RED BANK, N.J. (March 29, 2010) - Considering more than 25 percent of all workplace accidents involve hand and finger injuries, it's critical to have access to and awareness of the proper types of hand protection.
That's why Ansell Protective Products Inc. is pleased to announce a new resource, an online version of its Protection Solutions Guide, as part of their ongoing efforts to educate workers about the importance of hand protection. Beginning March 5 , the catalog will be available on AnsellPro.com and can be accessed directly by visiting www.ansellpro.com/product-catalog/.
The online catalog is designed to match its printed counterpart, but allows for enhanced product navigation across the online portal and easy search capabilities. Products are categorized into four sections - mechanical protection, chemical and liquid protection, product protection and protective clothing - with an added legend to note specific applications or uses. Users can also search by keyword, category, style number and product name.
The online portal features an Industry Guide that allows users to find gloves that are highly recommended for up to eight major verticals including construction, food, critical environment, manufacturing, energy, first responder/defense, raw materials processing and other occupations. For consumers searching for hand protection for chemical application-specific gloves, there are direct links to SpecWare, Ansell's online guide to hand protection specific to chemical applications.
"The online version of our Protection Solutions Guide is designed to make the hand protection solution identification process even easier," said Tracey Caliendo, Marketing Communications Manager, Ansell. "The introduction of the new online version is a direct result of extensive global research that identified the way customers select hand protection products. Based on findings and feedback from our printed catalog, this was a logical next step in helping our customers identify meaningful solutions."
