The health and safety culture has been under attack recently with claims that it destroys enterprise and causes unemployment. Every one has the right to work without damage to their health. Elements of the land industry are dangerous, we climb trees, break rocks, dig holes, use machines that are noisy and vibrate and drive to do our jobs. The Health and Safety exhibition featured a number of products that could keep us safer and healthier.
Safety Unlimited specialise in the storage, handling and containment of hazardous materials and flammable liquids. With over 35 years’ experience to manufacture and distribute standard or tailored products to suit individual requirements.

HappyFeet Insoles
If your feet ache you might want to take a look at these insoles they:
Absorbs Impact & Reduces Fatigue
The insole “floats” the foot on a cool cushion of natural food-quality glycerine to absorb shock and fill all the spaces between your foot and shoe giving a custom fit.
Distributes Weight & Reduces Friction
With every step, dynamic fluid-flow spreads pressure across the entire foot, from heel to arch to ball of the foot.
Dynamic Fluid Action Massages with Every Step
The dynamic fluid action constantly massages nerve endings in the feet which facilitates circulation to the feet and legs.

Goliath Footwear is part of the Yakupoglu (YDS) group, an international company specialising in workplace footwear and military fire, police and ambulance markets in the UK – they have been making boots that work since 1880.
Goliath Footwear constructs a dual density rubber sole (DDR) which is injected onto the uppers. This type of sole is special because it offers exceptional durability but with the comfort of the wearer at the forefront. DDR soles have a tough rubber nitrile outer skin that withstands nicks, cuts and heat to 300°C. A secondary lower density sponge-like midlayer is added to the outer layer to give comfortable, shock absorbing and lightweight properties.
The whole DDR combination is inhected onto the uppers for the best possible bond.

SLIP TECH Floor and Safety treatment uses technology from the computer chip industry to make any ceramic, tile, stone, or agglomerate surface extremely slip resistant through micro-etching. The anti-slip coating does not look rough to the human eye, but with a high-powered microscope it looks like the Himalayan Mountains with millions of peaks and valleys. When a shoe makes contact with the wet tile, water is evacuated, forming a suction that creates a non-slip surface, unlike other non-slip floor coatings that are merely a topical adhesive.
