Workplace Safety and Health Program
Insect Shield has announced the launch of a new business model developed specifically for companies involved in mining and oil and gas operations, to help protect their workers from insect-borne disease. ExxonMobil, a leader in workplace safety, employee health and malaria-prevention initiatives, is the first to sign up for the Insect Shield program.
The Insect Shield program is being offered to ExxonMobil staff and subcontractors in locations where insect-borne disease is endemic. Every day, thousands of the company's employees are exposed to insects that can carry malaria, dengue fever, trypanosomiasis, filariasis, leishmaniasis, and other dangerous diseases. Insect Shield's long-lasting clothing treatment-proven to last through 70 washings-is an excellent solution for employees living in harm's way.
Dr. Richard Dockins, MD, MPH, Occupational Health Manager for ExxonMobil says, "ExxonMobil is an industry leader in implementing best-in-class solutions for workplace safety and health. In some regions, protection from insects is the most critical health issue."
The new Insect Shield Program catalog and online store make protective clothing and gear items available to workers in at-risk locations across the globe. For the first phase of the program, Insect Shield assortment consists of work wear, professional apparel and accessories-including clothing that also offers sun protection, flame resistance and high visibility-as well as additional items such as mosquito nets for use at home.
