Furthermore, we ensure we keep up to date with all changes to the health and safety regulations so that our customers can be confident that their equipment will not let them down. There are many things to consider when buying PPE or personal protective equipment; firstly consider what regulations to take into account. The regulations are called EN specification or European Normalisation specifications, adhering to these regulations is law and should always be taken seriously. We appreciate it can be difficult to identify the exact requirements for your particular trade when it comes to PPE so we have put together a Workwear by EN Spec guide to help you better understand some of these requirements. If you are a manager or head of an organisation it is very important that you keep up to date with the latest regulations regarding personal protective equipment. These requirements change yearly often with over 1000 new additions to consider, while most won't effect your trade it is still essential to be in the know when it comes to health and safety, visit our workwear by EN Spec page for more information. Basic personal protective equipment includes safety footwear, safety harnesses, ear & eye protection, head protection, respiratory and face mask protection, protective gloves, disposable workwear & finally safety signs to be used in the workplace. Good use of safety signs can prevent many incidents of injury; we are only human and accidents will inevitably occur. Prevention measures such as erecting a sign near a slippery surface or warning signs can often be very effective.
