At RMS Energy, safety is more than a priority, it’s a core value that drives everything we do. We’re proud to recognize Angela Schumacher, who recently represented RMS Energy at the Women’s PPE Fashion Show during the American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP) Safety 2026 Conference.
Hosted by ASSP’s Women in Safety Excellence (WISE) division, the annual event celebrates innovation in personal protective equipment (PPE) designed specifically for women working in industrial, utility, and construction environments. The showcase brings together manufacturers, safety professionals, and industry leaders to highlight advancements that improve the comfort, fit, and protection of PPE for women in the workforce.
Advancing Safety Through Better PPE Design
For many years, women in the trades and industrial professions have often relied on PPE designed primarily for men. Poorly fitting equipment can impact comfort, mobility, and, most importantly, safety.
The Women’s PPE Fashion Show shines a spotlight on manufacturers that are developing equipment specifically engineered for women. Featured products include arc-rated clothing, protective gloves, safety footwear, fall protection systems, and other essential gear that better meets the needs of today’s workforce.
As more women pursue careers in the energy and utility industries, these innovations play an important role in creating safer, more inclusive work environments.
Showcasing the Next Generation of Fall Protection
During the event, Angela had the opportunity to showcase the new FallTech FT-One Ultra-Lite Harness, an innovative fall protection solution that is expected to be introduced to the market soon.
Designed with comfort, mobility, and performance in mind, the FT-One Ultra-Lite Harness represents the continued evolution of fall protection technology. Innovations like these help ensure workers can perform their jobs safely while reducing fatigue and improving overall wearability.
