“Anyone can sell Safety but you wouldn’t buy Safety from anyone”
The BSIF is dedicated to eliminating non-compliant, unsafe, counterfeit and illegal safety products from the UK market and provide a quality assurance scheme for the purchase of genuine PPE that will help to keep people safe and healthy at work.
The number of non – compliant, illegal and poorly performing safety products offered for sale in the UK market is significant and all organisations and individuals sourcing PPE and related equipment need assurance that the markings, documentation and claims for the performance of the product are genuine.
The BSIF Registered Safety Supplier Scheme provides assurance to PPE customers and users that only compliant and correctly performing products are supplied.
The users of safety products need to be able to trust their PPE and deserve to be supplied by capable responsible businesses. BSIF undertakes to promote the benefits of the scheme actively throughout the UK market in its messages, in literature, sales activities, public relations, advertising, mailings, member support activities, external events and other appropriate promotional opportunities.
