North Safety Products Africa will showcase its full range of products designed to mitigate various hazards that mining workers are exposed to at Electra Mining Africa 2016, including its latest engineering and consumable products.

This will be the second time that North Safety has had a presence at Electra Mining, marketing head Lizette Kasselman points out. “Electra Mining is a platform that grants any personal protection or mining supplier in the industry the opportunity to meet operational personnel and decision-makers. It also allows us to showcase our broad product spectrum, which caters for every requirement.”

This ranges from standard dust to hazardous particles, dangerous chemicals and flash fire protection, encompassing a head-to-toe protection offering. “North Safety has been a supplier of protective apparel for the past 60 years and, therefore, it has garnered considerable expertise in terms of the industry’s overall safety requirements,” she says.

“North Safety probably has the best infrastructural footprint in the country, which has been strengthened by adding these additional product lines. We are now able to offer ideal one-stop solutions to any industry requiring engineering, consumable and PPE products,” Kasselman reveals.

The entire North Safety team, from sales experts to contact specialists, exports team and management, will be present at Electra Mining Africa 2016, including CEO Craig Garvie. “Our main aim is to ensure that all parties within the mining industry are aware of our vast product range and the expertise that complements our solutions,” notes Kasselman.
