Non-conforming high visibility vests,
safety helmets and prescription
safety glasses are just a handful of the
products that find their way onto the
marketplace. Unfortunately, to the
untrained and unsuspecting eye,
illegal, non-conforming safety
equipment is hard to distinguish and
in many instances goes unnoticed
until an accident occurs with often
irreversible consequences.
David Lummis, chief executive officer at the BSIF, is urging companies to be vigilant and reminding them that when a product seems too good to be true, it usually is. He says that by remaining vigilant we can help to stamp out this unscrupulous behaviour.
