This will SHOCK you.
Did you know 79% of PPE from non-registered providers fail independent tests?
Recent findings from the British Safety Industry Federation (BSIF) have shed light on a troubling reality that an alarming number of PPE sourced from non-registered providers has failed independent testing, highlighting the critical need for stringent compliance with safety standards.
Key Takeaways from the BSIF Report:
- A comprehensive assessment of 123 non-member products over the past year revealed that only 21% met all required standards, leaving a majority that could compromise user safety.
- Noteworthy failures included a Flame Retardant Parka and safety boots that failed basic safety tests, highlighting the risks of inadequate protective gear.
- The contrast is stark against products from BSIF Registered Safety Suppliers, where 91% passed tests, illustrating the reliability of sourcing from accredited suppliers.

Our commitment extends beyond mere compliance, though. We are dedicated to safeguarding the well-being of your workforce with heavily tested, reliable safety solutions.

The recent BSIF findings are a wake-up call to all involved in the procurement of safety equipment. The risk of using substandard PPE is too great a gamble.
