Orlando, FLA. – The Expo Hall of the American Society of Safety Professional 2025 Conference in Orlando, Florida, last week was full of colored booths, window windows and even a musician who hit a guitar while giving flexible work gloves.

The annual conference attracts assistants from all industries, but many of the articles displayed have applications for the workplace. Here are some of the most attractive:

SPANSET AUXIUED OMNISUIT

In the past, Sanford, in North Carolina Transmit He has mostly sold the protection of falls and load control, but in the last two years he has also minied exoskeletons, said Evan Vogel, sales director.

In Spanish cabin, visitors could try omnisuit, an unpleasant exoskeleton designed to help workers do work above shoulders and demonstrate a case of use by keeping a drill above the head and bending to lift a box. The dress itself weighs about 6 pounds and the straps around the waist and thighs. Other support against arms.

Exo-Setuits de Aid are based on textiles for support, which means that the way they narrow is focused on supporting an uprising of users instead of applying another more advanced (and potentially heavier) technology, said Vogel. For example, bend to lift the guides that the bearer was taken and raised properly by narrowing the material at the bottom of his back, which makes it harder to tilt -forward.

Applications for the dress include manufacturing and logistics, and Vogel said that construction operations, such as soil installers, could benefit from the design of the dress. At present, the exoskeleton has largely embraced in Europe, but Vogel said that its popularity is growing in the United States

Safe harness of Surwerx’s fall

In a large stand with a small track, Elgin, the Safe of the Surower Fall, based in Illinois, made his debut in North America. Protesters walked quickly on the track to show that the new protection team is not blocked inappropriately due to shaken movement.

The gear is designed to protect workers by measuring both speed and acceleration, said Dustin Schneider, a strategic account executive in North America. Traditional fall safety only measures speed, stop or blocking at higher speeds, which can cause irritating or painful tension when a worker bends to collect something, according to the signature. It can also lead to the workers to keep the line line and drag it -along with them.

Surwerx Gear measure when there is a change of speed, blocking -sece when the line accelerates rapidly. The result, Schneider said, allows workers to move or walk quickly or bend -without having to worry so that the harness is mistakenly closed.

Schneider said that the new harness will begin in detail in the United States, Schneider said.

Epicore Biosystems Hydrration Wearable

Epicore Biosystems based on Cambridge, based on Massachusetts, showed a hydration detection that can be brought. It was originally designed to adhere to the skin, but workers found that it was a ordeal to stick and remove the device, said Navropp Sidhu, marketing director at Growth. Now what can be brought is on an arm around the user’s bicep.

The device is able to measure when the user has lost about 500 milliliters of water or about a bottle of water. At that moment, he begins to joke, alerting the bearer they need to take a break and moisturize. Once they do, the carrier can press a button to indicate to the device they have consumed water. If they do not, the device will continue to joke as the situation gets bigger.

Epicore Biosystems began commercializing a gatorade patch that measures hydration for athletes, but Sidhu said that the applications of the hydration tracker have expanded to industries where workers spend hours in the heat, such as construction.

The fresh helmet of Caco America

Caco America presented helmets to protect the heads of strikes and heat workers. The American arm of the Panama CACO ABBO Team Manufacturer has launched the GH400 and GH500 helmets, which have gained recognition for their use Koroyd patented technology Originally created for aerospace security research.

The green cylindrical tube absorbs the impact of the strong trauma on type 1 and type 2 helmets, said James Rogers, national sales director of the firm, but also occupies less space inside the helmet than the traditional EPS foam used by many other brands. As a result, the helmet consists of 95% air, making it light. This also means that the temperature of the head as intense as other equipment does not increase, said Rogers.

In 2022, the GH400 The helmet won second place In the best competition in shows in the Congress and San Diego National Security Safety Expo.

Paragon’s refrigeration vest

Paragon Pro uses ice or ice packages stored inside the refrigerators to pump cold water through the gear that can be brought and maintain the low worker’s body temperatures. The packages vary in size from small hip refrigerators with about 45 minutes to an hour of use, to mass refrigerators designed to use several workers at the same time on a break.

For those who do not actively move, the rapid cooling will begin to enter into force.

“If you do it for 10 minutes, you want to get it out,” said Clarence Patten IV, President of Paragon Pro.

Currently, the product is mainly used for motor sports, surgeons who have to keep fresh under hot lamps for long procedures and actors with heavy costumes. But they suffer more applications and not just for workers who need quick cooling.

For example, Patten said that demand could benefit workers who are outside of extended periods in hot times, such as line workers in aerial elevators and the supporting crew below.
