Feb. 21, 2013 - PRLog -- Dallas, TX, February 15, 2013, – Working in conditions that have been classified by the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) as hazardous poses a challenge to both management and employees to create a safer environment wherever possible. Petroleum refineries, spray finishing areas, aircraft hangars and fuel servicing areas, flour and feed mills, coal and other carbon handling plants, and textile mills are just a few of the industries and fields faced with such a challenge. Among the needs is a source of dependable, hands-free lighting to help ensure employees have adequate sight while keeping both hands available. The Nightstick XPP-5450G/52G Series Intrinsically Safe Headlamps answers that call.
