In the global markets we operate within today, identifying reliable Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) suppliers is of increasing importance for both businesses and individuals. The demand for PPE has been growing since the Covid-19 pandemic and the market has seen an influx of suppliers as a result.
With so many suppliers in the market, would you be able to easily differentiate between genuine and substandard products? Would you know what to look for?
This is where The British Safety Industry Federation (BSIF) and the Registered Safety Supplier Scheme (RSSS) can provide invaluable guidance, offering a standard of trust and assurance in the middle of all the uncertainty.
The BSIF is the UK’s leading trade body within the safety industry, championing the highest standards of product quality and service. The RSSS, launched by the BSIF, provides a definitive way to identify trustworthy PPE suppliers. Companies listed on the RSSS have made a binding declaration that their safety equipment complies fully with PPE regulations, adheres to appropriate standards, and bears the CE mark.
The rise of counterfeit PPE has posed significant and increasing risks to individuals and businesses. Fake equipment may not provide adequate protection, leading to potentially hazardous consequences. These included cut-resistant gloves that are anything but and safety harnesses that cannot support the declared weight. These products put your workers at increased risk.
Over a 12-month period the BSIF sourced, assessed, and tested 160 products from distributors outside BSIF membership (in other words, PPE suppliers that are not annually audited like Tower are). Of that 160, 144 products failed. That’s a failure rate of 89%!
This means, if you were to buy from a non BSIF supplier, there is a potential 89% chance that the products you purchase will not protect your workers.
Would you willingly put your workers at risk, not knowing if the safety equipment you are using is up to standard?
Partnering with a BSIF registered company, such as Tower Supplies, ensures that you only source authentic and reliable PPE, safeguarding the wellbeing of your workforce.

Not any company can become BSIF registered. To achieve BSIF registration, companies must undergo rigorous processes.
Members of the RSS scheme need to comply with the following:
By meeting these requirements, BSIF registered suppliers demonstrate their commitment to excellence and safety.
Who wouldn't want to have confidence that their PPE is protecting their staff?
Partnering with a BSIF registered supplier like Tower Supplies brings several key advantages. First and foremost, customers gain confidence knowing that the PPE they purchase is up to the highest standards of quality and safety. There is peace of mind in knowing that products are ethically sourced and meet all necessary regulations, protecting both the user and the reputation of the purchasing organisation.
When it comes to safeguarding lives and wellbeing, partnering with a BSIF registered supplier is a decision that should never be compromised. It’s a small step to take to ensure the safety of your workers.
