LifeBarrier Expands ProSafetyGrip Distribution in Response to Growing Workplace Safety Concerns

Delray Beach, FL - LifeBarrier, developers of the next generation of personnel protection, announced today that they are expanding the existing distribution of the LifeBarrier ProSafetyGrip™ tool in response to the growing mass-market concern over workplace safety.

Riker’s Island, one of the largest correctional complexes in the United States admitting over 100,000 inmates each year, protects its officers with the LifeBarrier ProSafetyGrip™. The prison systems in Ireland and in Scotland have also begun implementing the use of the LifeBarrier ProSafetyGrip™ tool. By expanding distribution, the LifeBarrier ProSafetyGrip™ will be available to employers in all industries to secure a higher level of workplace safety and productivity with low operating expenses.

Today’s biological hazards in the workplace have become increasingly more dangerous than in years past. As diseases like HIV and Hepatitis reach epidemic levels, health and safety concerns have taken center stage with professionals in corrections, law enforcement, military, public safety, custodial and industrial. If your job requires you to pat down individuals, search, clear, or clean objects or areas, you must assume that anything you may come in contact with might place your life in jeopardy. The LifeBarrier ProSafetyGrip™ is a hand held search and retrieval device that allows the user to feel the objects they come in contact with while providing the user critical stand off distance, as opposed to typical gloved protection, to properly defend against sharps injuries such as razors and needles that may harbor deadly pathogens. The LifeBarrier ProSafetyGrip™ has also been useful to law enforcement and security professionals in neutralizing sexual harassment claims during individual pat downs.

Graham McKinnon, LifeBarrier President and CEO, says, “The LifeBarrier ProSafetyGrip™ will soon be the leading choice of personnel protection supporting mass-market health and safety around the world. While common practice employs the use of protective gloves, gloves are not 100% effective protection.”

Rick D. Goins, critical asset protection officer for the state of Missouri comments, "The LifeBarrier ProSafetyGrip™ is an essential tool to protect your life in so many ways, everyday. During my years in special operations and as a first responder in the medical field, I wish I could have had access to the LifeBarrier ProSafetyGrip™ tool. The manipulation and especially the stand off distance provided by the tool is essential to the peace officer, bomb technician, investigator and paramedic, whether you are collecting evidence or using them to conduct personal pat down searches."

The LifeBarrier ProSafetyGrip™ is available as a two-unit set with holsters and retails for $179.99.

  • Easy to use by both left and right hand
