Be Safe, be Smart – BOC

29 October 2009

New product ranges - including Regatta and Goretex® wet weather clothing, Cirrus Sound Signs and Semmco Emergency Escape Hoods - are just some of the additions which feature in BOC's biggest-ever Safety Products Catalogue.

The 2009-2010 edition comes in a new livery to reflect its place in the family of BOC catalogues which cover everything from Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), workplace safety, industrial equipment, welding products and related equipment, as well as specialist items for industrial gas users.

The new catalogue will also be available in different formats to suit customer preferences. "We are contacting existing customers before mailing the catalogues," explains BOC Senior Marketing Manager Emma Byron. "We'll be asking them which books they want - and in what format. They can choose the traditional printed form or a CD-ROM version. The market is moving on and we are responding to that in providing more computer-based versions for customers that want them."

There will also be a new dedicated website for customers to browse and identify their specific requirements - this will go live in November.

Products can be ordered 24 hours a day, 365 days a year from our central ordering line on 1890 355 255, online at the revamped www.bocsafetyproducts.co.uk, or through BOC's national network of retail stores.
