Competent

dependable

As BSIF members, Registered Safety Suppliers can be depended on to trade honestly and ethically and go above and beyond to support customers with PPE & safety equipment procurement. 

Anyone can sell safety, but you shouldn't buy safety from just anyone.

Not all PPE and safety products are created equal

The law states that PPE must be correctly tested and certified to comply with the Personal Protective Equipment Regulations, but not every supplier of PPE follows the rules. The reality is that not all safety products currently for sale are created equal. The lack of surveillance and enforcement in the UK means it can be difficult to remove substandard products from sale. Employers must ensure that they only provide fully compliant PPE for their workforce. 

Benefits of using a rss

Using a Registered Safety Supplier gives you the reassurance that necessary checks have been performed. This is the criteria that we have met in order to carry the BSIF RSS shield:

  • Sell only certified PPE
  • Meet all responsibilities of the PPE regulations
  • Submit our products for random independent performance testing
  • Staff trained in BSIF’s Safe Supply Course (a publicly recognised qualification to educate those selling PPE and safety products)
  • Maintain a quality policy
  • Carry out necessary product recalls
  • Trade honestly and ethically
