Promotional products are received as more meaningful to clients, compared to online advertising. A recent ad impressions study by ASI stated that consumers are nearly 2.5 times more likely to have a positive opinion of promotional products compared to online advertising.

Be Prepared
As you all may know, hand sanitizer is in high demand due to the Covid-19 outbreak. In fact, a recent study by Grand View Research stated that the global hand sanitizer market size valued at USD 2.7 billion in 2019 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 22.6% from 2020 to 2027. Crazy, right? For good reason. Practicing hand washing and hand sanitizer use is vital in times like this. The CDC did a great job explaining when and how to properly use hand sanitizer:

When should I use hand sanitizer?
Before and after visiting a friend or loved one in a hospital or nursing home, unless the person is sick with Clostridioides difficile (if so, use soap and water to wash hands).
If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol, and wash with soap and water as soon as you can.
DO NOT use hand sanitizer if your hands are visibly dirty or greasy—for example, after gardening, playing outdoors, fishing, or camping. If a handwashing station is available, wash your hands with soap and water instead.

How should I use hand sanitizer?
Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Supervise young children when they use hand sanitizer to prevent swallowing alcohol, especially in schools and childcare facilities.
Put enough sanitizer on your hands to cover all surfaces.
Rub your hands together until they feel dry (this should take around 20 seconds).
DO NOT rinse or wipe off the hand sanitizer before it’s dry; it may not work well against germs.

• Commonly Asked Questions Regarding Hand Sanitizer
  When is hand sanitizer not effective? Visibly soiled hands and harmful chemicals. Sanitizer doesn’t remove the dirt on your hands, in this case hands should be washed prior to applying hand sanitizer. Hand sanitizers may not remove harmful chemicals such as pesticides and heavy metals like lead.
  What is the recommended percentage of alcohol in hand sanitizers to kill germs? To be effective against killing germs, the CDC recommends to use a sanitizer with an alcohol strength of at least 60%.
  Is hand sanitizer harmful? No, the branded sanitizers have an approved formula by FDA and other drug authorities. However, continuous use of sanitizer would take away water content and make the skin dry. To avoid this, hand sanitizers with moisturizer are a great alternative.
  How long is hand sanitizer effective? Hand sanitizer does not protect you long term, so it is vital to practice washing your hands and applying hand sanitizer after going in public places.
  Does hand sanitizer expire? Yes, hand sanitizer does expire. However, the expiration date indicates when the percentage of active ingredients drops below 90 percent of the percentage on the label. While not dangerous to use hand sanitizer after its expiration date, it may be less effective. Typically, hand sanitizer expires after 2 to 3 years.
  Where should hand sanitizer be stored? Hand sanitizer should be stored out of reach of children and should not be stored anywhere above 105°F.
  Is it safe to eat food after using hand sanitizer? Be cautious about excessive use of sanitizer, as it can make you prone to viral infections as removal of bacteria gives ample space for certain viruses (norovirus) to grow and sanitizers are not capable of denaturing noroviruses or equivalents.
  What kills more germs, sanitizer or soap? According to the CDC, “Soap and water are more effective than hand sanitizers at removing certain kinds of germs like norovirus, Cryptosporidium, and Clostridioides difficile, as well as chemicals.” So while hand sanitizers are great on the go and add convenience, don’t forget to still wash your hands!

In some work environments it is necessary to wear personal protective Kits and equipment . There are several professions where the wearing of personal protective equipment is mandatory, and with good reason. Personal protective equipment provides workers with essential protection against possible harmful external influences, thus preventing injuries and other physical injuries.

Often personal protective equipment only protects a specific part of the body. It may therefore be that in some workplaces several forms of personal protection must be worn. Which personal protective equipment an employee must wear depends on the profession, the work environment and which risk factors are present. Here we explain what the most important personal protective equipment is.

Head protection
Bump caps and safety helmets can be worn to protect the head . Bump caps provide moderate protection; the plastic inner shell offers protection against light impacts. The advantage of a bump cap is that it feels light and ventilates well. Safety helmets offer stronger protection and are therefore more suitable in a work environment where objects can fall on the head. A helmet cap can be worn under a helmet. This provides heat and is also flame retardant. An additional advantage of head protection is that you are also partly protected against UV radiation.

Hearing protection
In some environments, hearing must be protected. Think of a workplace where loud equipment is used, such as sawing, drilling or pile drivers. Sound above 80 decibels is harmful to hearing and can even lead to noise deafness in extreme cases. Noise deafness can have serious consequences, both for the functioning at work and in the personal life of employees. This should be avoided as much as possible.

One way to do this is to wear hearing protection such as ear plugs or earmuffs . Earplugs are placed in the ear and can be used in situations where the sound is no louder than 90 decibels. Earplugs are cheap and hygienic because they are thrown away after one use. Ear muffs have a somewhat higher attenuation and can easily be put on and taken off, but are sometimes difficult to wear in combination with glasses.

Eye protection
To protect the eyes, goggles must be worn in some working areas. Safety glasses are available in different shapes and sizes. Ordinary safety goggles are very similar to ordinary goggles, but there are also goggles that look more like diving goggles. This second type provides more complete protection, as no dust, dirt or other harmful particles can enter the eye through the sides.

Gloves
There are also work environments where employees run the risk of injuries to the hands. To avoid this it is essential to wear protective gloves. There are different types of gloves for different workplaces. Consider, for example, gloves that protect against mechanical factors, gloves that protect against chemicals and gloves that protect against heat and sparks.

Personal protective equipment provides a safe working environment. So always be prepared!
