ECS introduces<br />
‘engineer’s<br />
safety’ range<br />
<strong>The</strong> remanufacturer and collector<br />
of the year has taken swift action<br />
by extending their product range<br />
to include an ‘engineer’s safety’<br />
section in order to meet the new<br />
and changing demands of the<br />
industry.<br />
As many businesses begin to return<br />
to work across the UK and around<br />
the world, they are now adopting<br />
COVID-19 working measures which<br />
include the use of specific safety<br />
equipment such as sanitisers, cleaning<br />
wipes, facemasks and gloves.<br />
ECS now supply all of those, as well as<br />
much more, including an 80% alcoholbased<br />
sanitiser which is recommended by<br />
the World Health Organisation (WHO).<br />
Director Chris Fink said: “With<br />
businesses slowly opening over the<br />
next few months we anticipate that our<br />
industry and many others will require<br />
various items of PPE in order to function<br />
and protect their employees. Our new<br />
range of products will help to meet these<br />
demands so that the remanufacturing<br />
and print industry can return to some<br />
kind of normality.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> remanufacturer also supplies<br />
various kits specifically designed for field<br />
engineers to meet COVID-19 working<br />
requirements and to promote a safe<br />
working environment during the current<br />
pandemic. ■<br />
