The International Safety Equipment Association, a 69-year-old trade group of more than 100 safety equipment manufacturers, has launched a Website to support improved safety in the construction industry.

The new site is part of the Arlington, Va.-based association's "Partnership for Worker Protection" campaign that seeks to raise awareness and use of personal protective equipment in heavy construction.

A buyers guide section categorizes equipment by purpose and then lists and links to manufacturers with products serving those needs. Other features include downloadable guides for use of high visibility gear and hearing protection equipment.

The features can be found at www.safetyequipment.org.
