rgodyne has evolved smartly over the past 32 years expanding
their product offering into many channels of the safety
industry. They expect this growth to continue.
“We are very much looking forward to 2015 as we have a very
ambitious plan. We have just launched two major lines of products
that are technical from a safety perspective: the Skullerz® Eyewear
line of safety glasses and CORE Performance Work Wear® Flame
Resistant apparel. Both are new to Ergodyne and a significant
development and expansion for the company.
“Another area of focus is what we call Objects at Heights which is
similar to the DROPS concept. This range comes under our Squids®
brand (tool lanyards for dropped object prevention at heights) and
our Arsenal® Gear Storage line. This has become a very significant
topic globally, with the EU already being very active in bringing
about standards. In the US, for example, in late November 2014,
a construction worker in his 50s died after being hit on the head
by a tape measure that fell 50 stories from the belt of another
construction worker, on a site in Jersey City, New York. He was not
wearing a hard hat, though he did have one in his car, and the tape
measure 50 stories above was not properly tethered to the worker,
according to Police. The issue is very relevant in the US health and
safety climate and Ergodyne is at the forefront of this major risk.
We have great product range in the Objects at Heights area and are
constantly looking to expand.”
At Ergodyne, values come down to one thing - the golden rule:
‘Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.’
“We believe in fairness and in the philosophy of reciprocity - we
very much live that credo. We have loyal business partners who’ve
worked with us for many years and are also very proud in giving
an unusually high percentage of our pre-taxed income to all kinds
of charitable organizations. We focus those donations around
community, health, and arts and education and have a giving
