The British Safety Industry Federation (BSIF) is calling on workers across the UK to share their personal experiences of how Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) has protected them from serious injury or death.
The appeal forms part of the BSIF’s newly launched PPE Saves campaign, which aims to raise awareness of the critical role PPE plays in workplace safety.
Used across a wide range of industries, PPE safeguards the body’s most vulnerable areas – including the head, eyes, face, lungs, hands, and feet – and acts as a vital last line of defence when hazards cannot be fully eliminated.
To support the campaign, BSIF is encouraging workers, employers, and safety professionals to share real-life stories of how PPE has made a difference. The Federation hopes these accounts will highlight the life-saving potential of protective equipment, promote stronger safety cultures, and encourage wider PPE compliance.
Those wishing to participate can use the hashtag #PPEsaves on social media or email their stories directly to [email protected].
BSIF says that by sharing these experiences, workers can help prevent future incidents and potentially save lives.
