About the British Safety Industry Federation
27 February 2024
THE BRITISH Safety Industry Federation (BSIF) is the UK's leading trade body within the safety industry. BSIF members include manufacturers, distributors, test houses, certification bodies, safety professionals and service providers.

Our aim is to provide support and guidance on a wide range of occupational safety issues.
We suggest buyers and end users follow a simple three-step process when buying PPE to ensure that products are fit for purpose:
1) CHECK your supplier is BSIF registered. BSIF Audited suppliers are compliant, competent and trustworthy. Don't settle for less.
2) SELECT appropriate, certified and compliant products. Registered Safety Suppliers can support the product selection process through their competence, capability and knowledge.
3) PROTECT your workforce and your business. Registered Safety Suppliers go above and beyond, helping to keep your people safe and helping your business to thrive.
Anyone can sell safety but you shouldn't buy safety from just anyone: Always specify the shield.
