Reducing or Ignoring Workplace Safety
"Workplace safety processes must be in place at all times," American Society of Safety Engineers' (ASSE) President Warren K. Brown, CSP, ARM, CSHMM, of Fairborn, Ohio, said today. "They are even more critical during business downturns." Brown is referring to recent reports of some companies cutting safety processes hoping to reduce costs. "If companies believe they will save money by reducing or ignoring safety for their workers, customers and communities they do business in, they are mistaken," Brown said. "The ongoing positive results are in and have been for companies that have a strong safety culture and continually invest in and implement effective safety processes. Not only does their bottom line benefit positively, but their company reputation stays intact, employees stay safe and healthy reducing health care, workers comp, training and turnover costs not to mention keeping customers, the communities they do business in, vendors and employees happy. Safety is good business."

30-foot Light Tower Kit
FORT SMITH, AR: New 30-foot light tower kit is extremely portable and easy to assemble. The new light tower kit is available for use with Baldor's TS35T towable generator and assembly only takes about two hours. After the unit is removed from its shipping pallet all that is required is the installation of the specially designed brackets and ballast box (no drilling is required) and attachment of the self-contained telescoping light mast. The final step is to plug the provided cord into a 120V/50 amp twist lock outlet on the generator control panel. The new light tower kit can provide 5 to 7 acres of quality light for applications in industries such as construction, oil, gas and water drilling, agriculture, landscaping, road repair and construction, mining and more. --- Baldor Electric Co.

Anti-Graffiti Clear Coat
CLEVELAND, OH: Sherwin-Williams Protective & Marine Coatings has introduced Anti-Graffiti Clear Coat, a single-component, low VOC. Requiring only a solvent wipe cleaning or using a 3000-psi pressure washer to remove graffiti, the new coating is intended to protect bridges, overpasses, concrete fences and railcars, as well as commercial buildings, schools and transit stations from the blight of defacing by spray paint and permanent marker. "Our product development team has outdone itself with a coating that not only retains its aesthetic semi-gloss appearance over time but also preserves its intrinsic anti-graffiti characteristics," said Doni Riddle, Protective & Marine Vice President of Sales. "And it's easy to work with: no mixing is required, and because it adheres directly to concrete, no primer is necessary, either." Fast-drying and versatile for the applicator - methods include brush, roller or airless spray - Riddle said the moisture-cure coating could be dry to the touch in as little as 30 minutes, depending on temperature, humidity and film thickness. --- Sherwin-Williams Co.
