3M Personal Safety Division will showcase its latest innovations
in Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) at the American Society of
Safety Engineers (ASSE), booth #1005, in Denver beginning Monday,
June 19. In addition to the debut of new products and services, 3M
will also address OSHA’s final rule to update general industry
walking-working surfaces and fall protection standards with
presentations and demonstrations. Attendees visiting the booth can
also participate in the 3M™ EARfit™ Challenge for a chance to win a
3M™ PELTOR™ ProTac™ III Headset and get a look at its latest
Inspection and Asset Management System.
Take the 3M EARfit
Challenge3M is putting ASSE attendees’ hearing
protection to the test with its EARfit Challenge. After
participants pick the 3M earplug of their choice, a 3M hearing
specialist will run an EARfit test, note their information and
track personal attenuation rating (PAR) scores. At the end of each
day, the person with the highest unaided PAR score will win a 3M
PELTOR ProTac III Headset (an estimated $90 value). For
participants with poor PAR scores, our hearing specialist will
provide on-the-spot training to ensure they understand how to
properly select and wear hearing protection.
ServicesHelping Employers
Solve Health and Safety Challenges DailyThe Science of Safety is a
collaborative effort between safety managers and 3M, and will help
companies better identify hazards and equip workers with the right
PPE as well as address the variables that may influence equipment
selection. The effort’s goal will be to work with businesses in
solving some of the most complex worker health and safety
challenges.

equipment no longer up to task? Workers and safety managers can
trade in qualifying fall protection equipment with the 3M Fall
Protection Trade-in, Trade-up program while trading up for more

Online Silica Tool KitAre you ready for the OSHA Silica
Regulation changes? 3M’s latest online informational tool kit
focuses on silica, specifically the OSHA Respirable Crystalline
Silica in Construction Regulation released in March 2016 (29 CFR
1926.1153). Resources include the text of the new regulation, an
overview of the new regulation, listing of products that might help
address the new requirements, tips on how to protect workers, other
resources as well as access to 3M training and support.
Products3M™ Inspection &
Asset Management SystemStay compliant, audit-ready and data savvy
on safety equipment inspections and training with the 3M Inspection
& Asset Management (IAM) System, a safety-focused and
cloud-based software that is accessible both on and off the
jobsite. With the system, occupational health and safety managers
can assign and manage PPE and other equipment, record employee
training information, automate notifications of recurring tasks,
receive select compliance metrics in real time and configure a
workplace to meet diverse safety needs in different parts of an
operation.

on a noisy worksite, workers might be tempted to discard hearing
protection devices. To address this issue, 3M™ PELTOR™
Communication Solutions has introduced the 3M PELTOR WS LiteCom Pro
III headset, which features a two-way radio with Bluetooth®
wireless communications and environmental listening with
level-dependent hearing protection.
