Keeping Workers Safe At Heights: Grainger Adds Essential Condor® Fall Protection Products To Offering

Grainger, North America's leading broad line distributor of facilities maintenance products, today announced the addition of ANSI Z359-compliant fall protection to its Condor product line.

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) - Grainger (NYSE: GWW), North America's leading broad line distributor of facilities maintenance products, today announced the addition of ANSI Z359-compliant fall protection to its Condor product line. From safety glasses to coveralls, Condor products provide protection with more than 2,000 items exclusively from Grainger.

“Falls are one of the leading causes of injuries and fatalities for our customers,” said Fred Costello, Vice President of Product Management with Grainger. “As North America's largest safety products distributor, Grainger is committed to helping customers keep their team members safe.”

“While fall hazards are generally expected in places like high rise construction or window washing, OSHA general industry requirements call for workers to be protected from falls at heights of 4 feet and above. That means that nearly every employer is at risk of experiencing a fall and needs to protect their employees. We’ve added new Condor personal fall arrest systems to provide customers with protection options,” said Costello

Grainger has provided safety equipment to customers for generations and has consistently expanded its safety product lines based on customer feedback and industry need. The current depth and variety of Condor products offered by Grainger includes hand protection, protective clothing, eye and face protection, ergonomic equipment, respiratory gear and hearing protection. Personal fall protection additions include harnesses, lanyards and anchors made for use at places such as:

•     Construction Sites
•     Factories
•     Mills
•     Refineries
•     Power Generation Facilities
•     Theaters
•     Hotels
•     Billboard Advertising
•     Bucket Trucks

Grainger also provides sustainability solutions that assist with lowering energy costs and reducing waste.
