When it comes to safety, whether it be related to industrial settings or perhaps just protecting yourself from thieves, we can help.Safety products such as book safes, safety glasses or goggles, reflective tape, whistles, and step-on receptacles are all available right here.
Book safes are a great way to disguise your valuables from prying eyes of visitors. I realize that you are thinking...why would my visitors be a threat? Well, perhaps not, but think about situations such as college dorms where students frequently come and go and everyone present may not be someone you know really well.
You can keep small items such as passport, driver's license or other college ID, pass cards to get in your apartment buildings, car keys, even extra cash (as we all know college students ALWAYS have extra money - NOT) in this safe disguised as a book. Pretty clever I say.
How about when you are walking along the street at night and there are no sidewalks? I can personally attest that there are plenty of college campuses that have streets the kids commonly walk on that put them at risk at night when they are walking back to their dorms after a late class.
3M makes a reflective tape that can be affixed to a jacket or even a bookbag that will allow you to at least be visible to traffic coming toward you. It is a simple, inexpensive way to protect yourself from cars who couldn't otherwise see you. I know our mothers always taught us to wear clothing that is visible when out at night. How many people actually adhere to that rule?
Safety goggles and glasses are an item that can be used in many many settings. In a lab setting, they could protect your eyes from chemical splash and other dangers. In your home workshop they can protect your eyes from wood or metal splinters from grinders, saws, and other tools.
How about while cutting wood? Wood burners are becoming ever popular and for those of you who have to provide your own wood supply, a pair of safety goggles is a must while using that chainsaw.
Step-on receptacles such as Safco's 9681WH are a great way to protect yourself from germs in any environment. Not only are they fire safe, but they also meet OSHA’s Standard for Blood borne Pathogens and NFPA Life Safety Code. They aren't just for medical settings though...as you could easily use on in a lunchroom, lobby or even your own kitchen!
The last item I will talk about today (I know..FINALLY right?) is a common whistle. Why are whistles a safety item you ask? Well, let's go back to the college campus setting just for a reference point. Any situation where a lone person is in a desperate situation would apply.
Imagine you are walking back to your car or are alone on the street walking to your dorm. Someone approaches you and startles you, perhaps with not so honorable intentions. You get out your handy whistle and let loose a long piercing toot. Campus police hear that SOS signal and come to your aid. Or perhaps the attacker is just holding his ears because you have just shattered his eardrums with your whistle! Situation handled!
Safety is everyone's concern. Ours, yours... a small investment in your personal safety is well worth it.
