PPE Regulations
Under the CoSHH Regulation (and EU CMR equivalents), where it is not possible to prevent exposure to a carcinogen, health hazard warnings and PPE must be provided.
When all engineering and operational control measures required by CoSHH and DSEAR assessments are already in place, CoSHH requires that the PPE is fit-for-purpose and in compliance with the PPE Regulation for the intended application.
For example, fuel-dispensing zones are classified as Potentially Explosive Atmospheres (such as ATEX Zones 0, 1 and 2).
One of GripHero’s performance attributes is the static-dissipative property of the material itself – demonstrating its ability not to accumulate and discharge static energy.
Under EU/GB PPE Regulations, enforcement authorities and insurers confirm:
Under the PPE Regulation it is a legal requirement to manufacture, distribute, and/or supply the correct PPE risk category for the intended application.
