JSP WILL be showing the latest innovative, UK-manufactured safety products at HSM Live in Leeds. Specialising in ‘above the neck’ PPE, JSP offer fully compatible sustainable safety solutions for today’s workplace.
WHEN IT comes to above-the-neck PPE, compatibility is key to ensure they work together to provide effective protection. Louise Charlton provides an insight.
IN HOT environments and under high UV exposure, adding sun protection to helmets is essential to help reduce heat stress and protect outdoor workers from harmful ultraviolet rays.
THE BRITISH Safety Industry Federation (BSIF) is urging organisations across the UK to use January to review their PPE stock and the processes they use to source it, as concerns continue to grow around the safety and compliance of products sold through online marketplaces.
THE ASSOCIATION of Optometrists and The College of Optometrists have welcomed the move that will be the most significant shake-up of driving laws in a decade.
As well as ensuring eyewear is compliant, it must also be wearable, as if it doesn’t stay on, it doesn’t protect, says Clair Weston.
In this webinar, the British Safety Industry Federation (BSIF) will present “The point of PPE” and it will demonstrate clearly, concisely and convincingly the critical role that good PPE plays in keeping the UK’s workforce safe and healthy.
The webinar will demonstrate the challenge of inadequate PPE being acquired or provided to wearers and the potential risks which that can create. Good well specified and competently sourced PPE saves! It saves lives! When risks can’t be eliminated, PPE is essential, but only if it’s fit for purpose and properly specified.
DESPITE THE availability of certified safety eyewear, eye injuries remain alarmingly common, often due to ill-fitting, inappropriate eyewear, or eyewear not being worn at all.
CLAIR WESTON discusses the importance of understanding the risks and benefits for worker health – and how employers can manage the risks associated with exposure to blue light.
