Ppe shield handed to polyco

BM Polyco has been named as one of
the first companies to be awarded the
new PPE Manufacturer’s shield by the
BSIF’s Registered Safety Suppliers
scheme. Under the terms of the
scheme, BM Polyco has made a
legally binding declaration that its
protective gloves comply with all the
relevant safety standards and can be
trusted to deliver the level of
protection stated.

The BSIF’s new Registered Safety
Supplier scheme has been instigated
to tackle the problem of counterfeit
CE certification and products which
do not perform at the level claimed
on the packaging.

“Often the faults with such
products are not uncovered until it’s
too late and an accident has occurred.

Employers who have purchased
products in good faith are then left
vulnerable to health and safety related
issues. This undermines trust in the
entire health and safety
manufacturing industry,”
commented Sarah Bridge, deputy
managing director at BM Polyco.
