Year in Review: 2024 Accomplishments By The Worker Safety Specialists | PK Safety

Eric Pedley |

As 2024 comes to a close, we’d like to reflect on all we have accomplished this past year. We proudly celebrated 77 years in business thanks to the support of our amazing customers and the dedication of our team! 

PK Safety has been a trusted name in workplace safety since 1947, providing hard-working professionals in many industries including oil and gas, construction, and confined space, with the highest quality PPE and safety gear. We’re looking forward to many more years serving you as The Worker Safety Specialists™!

Website Makeover

One of the biggest recent changes was a website makeover in November. We redesigned everything from the layout to the features, making it easier than ever to navigate and find the worker safety products you need. The website refresh requires customers who previously had an account with us to reset their account. If you haven’t already, please make sure you do so — your purchase history tied to your email will remain. We hope you have been loving our new site as much as we do!

New Products Regularly Added

Throughout the year, we’ve regularly added new products to our webstore from the many trusted brands we work with in order to meet the demands of the working professionals we serve. Here are a few highlights:

RKI Telemetry Subscription & Hardware for Gas Monitoring RKI Telemetry Subscription is a fully-managed web SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) for gas monitoring. The subscription choice will depend on the Telemetry hardware (sold separately) that's being used — 4-20 mA output or Modbus output. The subscription enables remote and on-site gathering of data from the fixed gas systems. Get access through a web browser to real-time data with trends, grids, maps, web HMI, and more. Secure and reliable with redundant servers and multi-layer backups.
