Climalife in safety essentials giveaway

UK: As part of its efforts to ensure that engineers are fully trained in the safe use of refrigerants, Climalife UK is distributing safety materials to selected customers.

To support the industry, Climalife has launched a campaign to supply many of its customers with high quality safety goggles/spectacles and gloves, along with a Handling Refrigerants Safely guide. 

The infographic style guide is described as a handy reference tool for industry professionals to review and display, with useful reminders on safety measures to take. It also features an added reminder of Climalife’s application-based tools that can help engineers when managing refrigeration installations.

Climalife says its salesforce will be out and about visiting customers over the coming weeks with as many packs to hand out as stocks allow.

Mel Summers, Climalife UK’s marketing co-ordinator, revealed that the company ran a successful campaign earlier this year across social media, supplying customers with pairs of safety gloves. “This is an extension of the safety message, with some new giveaways added to the package. Safety is so important when handling refrigerants, so anything we can do to reinforce this message, we believe is incredibly valuable to the industry,” she said.
