iQ Safety has launched a new website to assist its spill-solutions customers, and has aligned its branding with its parent company Matthews Australasia.

The new website is aimed at better serving iQ Safety’s widening customer base, according to business manager Sandra Ducak. Click here to access the website.

“In the past few years, we’ve added a lot of breadth to our range of top global safety products, focusing on spill and hazardous-goods management,” she said.

The website incorporates what Ducak calls an industry-first product comparison tool, including drop-down menus that show different size options when products are part of the same sub-category.

“This is important, because while having safety-management tools on hand is vital in manufacturing businesses, it’s actually just as important to have the right product for the job,” said Ducak.

Alongside the website launch, iQ Safety has adopted what Ducak calls a “thoroughly modern” branding, incorporating the chameleon from parent company Matthews and an updated tagline – “intelligent spill management” – that she says better reflects what the company does.

iQ Safety has been operating for 30 years, and sells products including absorbents, matting, emergency shower and eyewash systems, quality site-safety and environmental-protection products, safety cabinets for flammable liquids and other hazardous materials, and monitoring systems.

A national network for young grape and wine professionals has been launched, set to foster the next generation of winemakers, viticulturists, cellar door staff, wine judges and other roles in Australia’s wine sector.

A new bill was introduced to Parliament on 19 November, which offers a framework for regulating the sale or importation of organic goods in Australia, and stronger opportunities for exporting organic products.

The Senate Economics Committee has rejected the Food Donations Bill that proposed a tax offset for companies donating excess food to food relief agencies rather than dumping it. While the bill had the potential to deliver the equivalent of 100 million meals to food relief organisations, the committee said it had “serious concerns” including the bill’s “generous” tax concessions. Food relief agencies and social welfare organisations have questioned the committee’s decision to reject the bill outright rather than make recommendations for amendments.
