‘Good safety and health is good for business’ is at the forefront of our work at the BSIF and leads our political engagement programme that, in conjunction with our other activity, is working towards improving the overall opinion of health and safety in the UK.
With more widespread evidence of safety products failing than ever before, the British Safety Industry Federation (BSIF) bolsters its Registered Safety Suppliers Scheme (RSSS) to combat all non-compliant, non-conforming PPE.
2016 has been a significant year for all the BSIF Product Groups and Working Groups.
The Fit2Fit scheme continues to be a leading initiative for the Federation, helping to drive improvements in RPE fit testing and encouraging best practice.
The Health & Safety Executive published the 2015/16 health and safety statistics on 2nd November. With 1.3 million people working in Great Britain currently suffering from work-related illness, it is clear to see that the statistics support the HSE’s campaign to tackle ill health with the ‘Helping Great Britain Work Well’ initiative.
The 2017 BSIF Safety Awards will this year be announced at the Health & Safety Event, Birmingham NEC on Thursday 23rd March 2017.
Since the 1980s Clad has designed, manufactured, and sourced PPE, workwear and uniforms to ensure people are safe, comfortable and confident to work to the best of their abilities – no matter what the conditions.
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.
In the first exercise of its kind the British Safety Industry Federation and the British Standards Institute (BSI) have published a joint guidance document for the PPE market.
