Prismshield™ Plus Wins 2023 New Product of the Year

Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S) magazine’s 15th annual New Product of the Year award in electrical safety goes to Honeywell’s PrismShield™ Plus arc flash head & face protection. 

“I am extremely proud of the success and OH&S Product of the Year award recognition of our Honeywell Salisbury Prismshield Plus,” says Kevin Pietras, Global Offering Management Director of Electrical Safety at Honeywell. The innovative design of the new face shield provides noticeably clearer vision for workers. A new nanoparticle-coating allows for enhanced color differentiation and improves light transmittance, while the double curved lens provides superior optical performance and greatly reduces eyestrain while wearing the face shield. Frameless design also increases viewing area by over 20%. User comfort is heightened by a venting system allowing fresh air in from the bottom and moisture to escape from the top. Exclusive weight balancing frame increases comfort by reducing neck strain. And the shield is 3 times more scratch resistant than the original Prismshield™ lens for an extended product life.

Pietras continues, “Prismshield Plus demonstrates our commitment to bringing the highest quality Arc Flash PPE to the market with a focus on allowing the electrical worker to perform their job more safely and comfortably.  It took years in the making to bring to market, so we’re excited to share in all the new cutting edge benefits it offers to both utility and electrical workers.”

New Product of the Year winners will be recognized with awards and in the November/December issue of Occupational Health & Safety magazine. They are also featured on Occupational Health & Safety’s industry-leading website, ohsonline.com.
