In the last year, we have introduced WEB Decking and Netting Solutions to make the access to under-decks of bridges, jetties, offshore installations and high-rise constructions easier, safer and cost-effective. We also launched a range of Rostrum Scaffoldings to make working at heights accessible, safer and easier for the people at large. In 2019, we launched EZYPlus - focusing on products to safeguard people from the COVID-19 with gloves, masks, face shields, PPEs and more.

      3. What are the changes in the safety behaviour you have observed since the pandemic last year and what kind of safety products are relevant to this ‘new normal’ in safety?

Since the advent of the pandemic, people have taken conscious efforts to keep themselves and those around them safe through maintaining social distance, wearing masks, sanitizing themselves and their environment and monitoring their temperature. In these difficult times, 3 ply masks, sanitizers and dispenser stations, PPEs, workstation dividers and no-contact keys and face shields are the most effective ways to stay safe. 

4. What are your plans to raise awareness around your products in the Indian market?

In the current scenario, avenues such as exhibitions, trade shows and conferences are opening up with caution. To raise awareness about our products, we also plan to participate in virtual conference, run advertisements on social platforms with an objective to create awareness among the people. Other mediums include email marketing and Google advertisements.
