“Made in the USA”.  These days, it seems like this phrase is hard to come by.  So many of the products we use in our daily lives are made in part, or in their entirety, overseas.  For this reason, Danner Footwear’s boot factory is a sight for sore eyes.  Located just outside of Portland, Ore., the Danner boot factory is one of the few operating footwear factories in business in the United States today.

Danner (acquired by LaCrosse Footwear Inc. in 1994) runs a complete assembly line to produce their high-quality leather boots which include work boots, hiking boots and military boots (one of their customers is the U.S. military).  Continue Reading…

Additional energy is absorbed by each successive layer of material in the vest, until the bullet has been stopped. Continue Reading…

Hearing Conservation: Military Practices To Improve Your Program

Hearing Conservation Programs

We all know military families make immense sacrifices for our country. What’s startling to find out is that, more and more, military members are sacrificing something we tend to take for granted: Their hearing.

Disability claims for hearing damage are on the rise in the military. In fact, hearing damage is the most common disability among military members returning from combat in the last 10 years. Military members wear protective footwear and clothing, so why is hearing protection so overlooked?

A common-sense hearing conservation program was needed. So the Department of Defense charged the Government Accountability Office to study this issue and report back on ways that hearing loss can be avoided. What they found can be used in your business to improve your own hearing conservation program. Continue Reading…
