With expert advice, the system supplier and tool service provider supports customers with their individual issues and is not only expanding its team of specialist consultants in the field of occupational safety. Fall protection systems, including service, are also new to the range.

For Hahn+Kolb, the sale of personal protective equipment (PPE) particularly involves individual and expert advice. This is because product selection depends heavily on the work in question and the design of the workplace. In addition, the assessment of the respective hazards at the workplace requires a sound knowledge of the applicable legal regulations and standards.

Risk assessment and suitable product selection

Due to the growing demand for advice, Hahn+Kolb is expanding its team of specialist consultants who have qualified training as occupational safety specialists or PPE consultants. Among other things, the training teaches the basics of the occurrence and prevention of accidents and work-related illnesses, forward-looking hazard analysis and risk assessment as well as the requirements for machines, equipment, production processes and in-house transportation and traffic.

"Advice in the field of PPE requires well-trained employees who can recognize risks and offer the best possible protective equipment. That's why we continuously invest in the qualifications of our employees in order to maintain the health of our customers and avoid injuries of all kinds in the best possible way," explains Tino Stadel, Head of Measuring, Testing Technology and PPE. The team of experts is available to Hahn+Kolb customers for all safety issues.

Comprehensive range of PPE for all sectors

HAHN+ KOLB offers an extensive range of personal protective equipment to meet the respective requirements and legal regulations across all industries. This includes equipment in the areas of head protection, eye protection, hearing protection, respiratory protection, protective gloves, work clothing, protective clothing, safety shoes, skin protection, first aid, welding protection and - new to the range - products for fall protection. In addition to harnesses and lanyards, Hahn+Kolb also offers first-hand service, such as harness testing and initial and follow-up training for users. The product range has also been expanded in the area of welding protection.

Practical online tools

Customers are also supported online in the Hahn+Kolb web store, for example when choosing the right gloves and safety shoes. With the glove finder and shoe finder, searchers can reach their goal in just a few steps. Relevant criteria such as the area of use and the field of application are queried one after the other, as well as whether a safety shoe must be suitable for dry or wet surfaces or whether a glove should provide cut or heat protection. The right model is then quickly found and can be ordered directly online.
