FRISCO, Texas, July 24, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OxySure® Systems, Inc. (OTCBB:OXYS) ("OxySure"), the pioneering manufacturer of life-saving easy-to-use emergency oxygen solutions with its "oxygen from powder" technology today announced a new initiative called the "OxySure Beacon of Safety AwardSM."
"The OxySure Beacon of Safety AwardSM will be issued by OxySure to our institutional customers who implement OxySure as part of their safety protocols and framework in the organization," said Julian Ross, CEO of OxySure. "The goal is to recognize an organization for demonstrating a visionary commitment to community safety by implementing safe, non-compressed emergency oxygen systems in its facilities," he added.
The OxySure Beacon of SafetySMAward will have three levels of recognition: Silver, Gold, and Platinum and certificates evidencing the grant of each award will be issued to those organizations who agree to participate in the initiative.
OxySure's award-winning products are being used in a fast growing number of schools, businesses, churches, manufacturing facilities and corporate buildings across the United States and abroad. OxySure recently won the Lone Star Award for Innovation in Respiratory Technology for its unique portable emergency oxygen delivery device, the OxySure Model 615 which is FDA-cleared for over-the-counter (OTC) sale and therefore does not require a prescription. Model 615 is safe and easy to operate. It is specifically designed for use by any layperson or bystander in medical emergencies during those first, critical minutes while waiting for professional medical assistance. It requires no battery or power source. Instead, it uses two dry, inert powders to create emergency medical oxygen quickly and reliably.
