Safety tools exhibit
By JASON SOM KAUT
GAS and safety
company BOC PNG held its second annual exposition to raise
awareness on occupational health and safety (OHS) issues in the
workforce last week.
The two-day expo was held on Wednesday and Thursday at the Lae
International Hotel poolside.
Country manager for PNG and Solomon Islands Robert Parrish said:
“We want to make companies more aware and conscious of OHS
issues in the workforce and we want the exhibit as an
appropriate vehicle to address this.”
Themed “BOC – your partner in workplace safety and welding”, the
event featured booths and demonstrations of new safety and
welding products from Australian suppliers and BOC Australia.
“We want to make local companies more aware and to take these
lessons back to their workplace and in the process form
partnerships with supplier-companies for safe products and
safety advice,” Mr Parrish said.
BOC PNG planned to introduce two new products to the market
within the next six months, he said.
