Across industries worldwide, workers rely on the quality, fit, and performance of personal protective equipment (PPE) to stay safe on the job. Since hazards rarely occur in isolation, employees often need to wear multiple types of PPE simultaneously.
As a global leader in protective equipment, 3M continues to innovate solutions and will showcase its leading products at the A+A 2025 trade fair, taking place from 4-7 November in Düsseldorf.
According to 3M, the event allows it to demonstrate how its technologies and services work together to encourage consistent PPE use while addressing communication, comfort, fit, and performance needs.
Among the products on display are the 3M Speedglas Generation 5 Series Welding Helmet, offering advanced protection and customisable settings for versatile welders; the 3M PELTOR WS Alert XPV Headset, featuring solar-powered operation, Bluetooth MultiPoint technology, and noise-cancelling microphones for robust communication; the 3M DBI-SALA ExoFit XE Series Safety Harness, designed for comfort and safety at height; and the 3M Aura Particulate Respirator 9300+ Series, now upgraded with recycled materials and available in multiple protection levels.
3M also highlights its Integrated Protection Program, a holistic approach to PPE that combines technologies and services to promote consistent use and enhance worker safety. The programme underscores the value of PPE in protecting employees across industries, demonstrating how comprehensive health and safety strategies are strengthened through proper support resources.
Visitors to 3M’s booth will have the opportunity to engage with experts, explore interactive displays, and learn how selecting the right PPE for specific environments can improve workplace health and safety outcomes.
"At 3M, we are dedicated to advancing workplace safety through innovative solutions that enhance protection and productivity," said Aisha Barry, president, 3M’s Personal Safety Division. "At 3M, we’re changing the way we look at PPE and believe it works best when it works together, instead of getting in the worker’s way. Using PPE combinations that help enhance fit, comfort, communication, and productivity, it’s more likely that workers will embrace and wear their PPE all shift long.”
