The British Safety Industry Federation (BSIF) is the lead association for the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Regulation and is recognised by both the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) & Trading Standards (with whom we hold Primary Authority) . The BSIF has active links with many government departments and over 130 representative Trade Bodies. Set up in 1994, the Federation currently has over 300 members, ranging from manufacturers, importers and distributors of safety products through to test houses, certification bodies and safety professionals. Membership is accommodated within a number of sector trade associations. Today the BSIF is firmly established as the major independent voice of the British safety industry, helping to both influence legislation and provide industry in general with a source of authoritative information on a range of workplace safety issues, while representing the needs of its members. ‘Supporting all those who keep people safe & healthy at work and passionate to ensure that Safety & Health is a positive force for good.’
