Capital Safety Donates Fall Protection Equipment and Training to Habitat for Humanity

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (May 20, 2014) — Capital Safety is donating fall protection equipment and training for select personnel for all 2014 Habitat for Humanity build sites near its two Minnesota operations in the Twin Cities and Red Wing. Capital Safety products are used around the world to keep those who work at height safe.

The donated Capital Safety equipment will be used by workers doing work at height, including roof-related work at the build sites, said Stephen Oswald, CEO of Capital Safety. “We want to help ensure that the workers and volunteers who build Habitat for Humanity homes return to their own homes safely each night,” said Oswald.

Mary Schumacher, chief operating officer of Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity, said, “Safety of our staff and over 17,000 volunteers annually is, of course, a priority for Habitat for Humanity. We are very fortunate to have in-kind donors like Capital Safety, which keep our home construction costs low so more well-deserving families can purchase a Habitat home each year.”
