Cost Effective Line of Hydraulic Hose Protection
SKOKIE, IL: Cofair Products, Inc. introduces the Tite Seal Hydraulic Hose Protector. The new design offers something the market has been missing, a self-adhering, abrasion resistant wrap. The new product protects all size hoses eliminating the need for stocking multiple size hose protectors. Also because it's a self-adhering material, it can protect isolated sections of a hose, unlike traditional protectors that require covering the entire hose. The hydraulic hose protector is composed of neoprene that can stand up to oils, gasoline and solvents. The neoprene composition also allows the ability to bend and flex. The hydraulic hose protector is truly a product for all seasons. It can withstand temperatures ranges from -20 degrees F to 200 degrees F. Equipment operators know and understand the problems of hose failure. Loss of power is a loss of money. The new hose protector is easy to use and can be applied to any size hose in little time. --- Cofair

INDUSTRY TRENDS
Proper Layoff Etiquette
"Dire economic realities are forcing more businesses to face the prospect of layoffs," says Stephen Fox of Fish & Richardson. "With such an emotional and potentially perilous decision, managers must take pains to handle these difficult tasks the right way for everyone involved. It's difficult to lay off good people in bad times. It's emotionally painful for everyone. However, the employer has to be careful in the way in which the layoff is implemented; it has to be well thought out. While required for the bottom line, handling necessary layoffs in an unprofessional manner makes it harder for affected workers and can unnecessarily harm a business's reputation."
