PPE – Certified Protection Level

Results while searching for "head protection" and "PPE"..

Your PPE may have lost its expected protection performance without you being aware.  Things that may seem harmless like writing with a felt-tip pen on your safety helmet could have an impact.

The reality of workers using PPE highlights two key issues:

  1. Some PPE is improperly used or modified once certified, and this poses not only a problem with certification, but a risk to workers;
  2. Different types of PPE are combined and used together without testing; by doing this, workers cannot be sure that it will perform to original protection levels, and this may result in interference or reduced levels of performance

In our white paper you will learn about practical examples where your product may lose its certified protection performance. If you wish to know how to avoid such situations, download the white paper now to find out more!
