6.	History	In the late 1970’s Sandra Steele was a safety specialist working with nuclear plants, Department of Energy & Department of Defense sites, the nuclear navy, and military shipyards on different projects concerning protective clothing. One particular area of worker safety was constant and critical – the need to protect workers from heat stress when working in hot environments while wearing protective clothing. In 1984, after urging from customers, Sandra began the work of designing a cooling vest. The vest had to be easy to use, allow full worker mobility & balance, and be maintenance free, durable, and washable. Late in 1984 Sandra Steele hired her two daughters, Lynn & Lisa, incorporated under the name Steele & Associates, Inc., and introduced the first SteeleVest and Thermo-strips to the nuclear market.
