For over 75 years, Gateway Safety has committed to developing quality safety products that look and fit better for workers in the field.

Several Gateway Safety products have been awarded patents from the USPTO for innovative features that provide true, differentiated comfort. As a result, employees not only like what they’re wearing, but also stay in compliance for their employers – all day long.

Temple Technology® is one such example of Gateway Safety’s proven product innovation. The Temple Technology product family, made up of four different styles of safety eyewear, has become extremely popular due to the revolutionary comfort these safety glasses provide to workers. Their unique, patented temple designs have been engineered to fit workers more comfortably for longer shifts or even all day. Workers, employers and safety professionals have noticed the difference. Gateway Safety continues its effort to provide innovative products in all product categories, with several new, differentiated products hitting the market this year.

At the same time, Gateway Safety continues to maintain its focus on product excellence, helping to provide employers with the peace of mind that their workers are wearing safe, durable products. Gateway Safety communicates this by partnering with third-party, accredited testing agencies and laboratories to test and certify products to the highest applicable standards.

Corporate Profiles: The Board of Certified Safety Professionals

The Board of Certified Safety Professionals began in 1969 as a peer certification board. Its sole purpose is to certify practitioners in the safety profession.

Safety professionals identify hazards and evaluate them for the potential to cause injury or illness to people or harm of property and the environment. The safety professional recommends administrative and engineering controls that eliminate or minimize the risk and danger posed by hazards. They work with professionals in other disciplines in many different job settings. They work for companies, government agencies and private organizations, or offer individual professional services. They may engage in design, planning, program management, training, audit and other aspects of practice.

Additionally, they apply hazard recognition, evaluation, and control knowledge and skills for equipment, systems, facilities and processes, or in operations, manufacturing, transportation, construction, insurance services and other enterprises.

The value of the safety certification continues to grow. In the United States, numerous laws, regulations and standards cite it. More importantly, many companies include it in position standards, government agencies rely on it and contracts for safety services require it.
