Heavily corroded midsoles, leave them open to risk of penetration<\/p><\/div>\n

Neil Murray, Head of Public Sector at Arco discusses the unseen risks for your business<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Although we enjoy the benefits of working in one of the safest places in the world, with the lowest incident rates of work related deaths in the EU, there\u2019s a gap in the compliance process that is putting UK workers at risk of injury, even though they are using CE-marked PPE they believe will protect them.<\/p>\n

As a health and safety manager, you may believe that you and your people are fully protected and compliant when you specify or buy PPE.\u00a0 The reality is that some CE marked PPE is failing, putting wearers at risk of injury and businesses and individuals at risk of loss of reputation, fines and even possible imprisonment.<\/p>\n

The evidence is undeniable, particularly in the area of a number of CE marked safety footwear and gloves that are freely available on the market.\u00a0 Independent laboratory testing in 2017 showed that around 40% of non-metallic footwear and 30% of rigger gloves failed surveillance testing, despite carrying the CE mark.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Midsoles must resist a force of 1100 Newtons (2)<\/p><\/div>\n

With around 600,000 workers each year reporting that they have suffered an injury at work, the consequences of failing to apply due diligence to PPE purchasing are huge.\u00a0 Without a robust process in place, accidents and injuries could be life changing and not just for end users but for the individuals (and the businesses they work for) who are involved in specifying and purchasing the equipment.<\/p>\n

If you are concerned about the risks of failing CE marked PPE leaving you and your business exposed, click here<\/a><\/strong> to watch a short film about this important issue.\u00a0 CE markings do not guarantee compliance and as an employer or health and safety manager, you have an obligation to ensure that whatever you buy is compliant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
