Ansell Keynote at industry-leading event

Brussels, 7 September 2009 - Ansell Healthcare, the global leader in barrier protective solutions, will be participating at the EMEA Health and Safety Culture Management conference in Prague on the 14^th and 15^th of September 2009. At the conference, which will focus on creating a safe and efficient work environment, Xavier Destailleurs, Head of Service-Business Management at Ansell Occupational Healthcare EMEA, will give valuable insights on how companies can increase productivity by optimizing hand protection. The presentation will take place on the 15^th of September at 15h15.

In today's industrial sectors, productivity, cost-effectiveness and safety can go hand in hand. To reach high performance targets, workers must be able to work fast and comfortably. On the other hand, workplace safety remains an undisputable requirement: staff must protect their hands against a broad spectrum of possible hazards.

Ansell's presentation 'Increasing productivity by hand protection optimization' will focus on:

• - How can safety measures enhance productivity?
• - How can multi-site organisations standardize safety procedures and best practices?
• - How can rationalizing hand-protection solutions help reduce the total cost of ownership?
