SAFETY PRODUCTS

The Scan range of safety products is designed to protect wearers in the most frequently occurring circumstances under which personal protection is either required or recommended in the building, construction, maintenance and associated industries.

Scan Safety products meet ‘EN Standard’ (European Norm) standards where applicable, and the EN reference number is listed for each individual product within this catalogue.

Some government statutes and EU regulations relating to personal safety state that personal protection is a statutory requirement under certain circumstances. The legislation is designed to cover all aspects of personal safety, especially when health hazards are known to, or are likely to, exist in the working environment.

In such cases, the regulations specify the ‘EN Standard’ relating to the protection capabilities and performance of the type of products involved.

WORKWEAR PRODUCTS

User comfort and long lasting service are the main considerations for the Scan range of workwear products which are designed to cater for the needs of both the professional user and enthusiastic DIYers. The products are manufactured to a standard that reflects the tough environment in which they are likely to be worn.

HIGH VISIBILITY CLOTHING

Every employer has a legal obligation to provide clothing incorporating reflective material to employees who, during their work, are exposed to potentially hazardous situations in which they need to be seen by operators of moving machinery or vehicles. The wearing of high visibility clothing will help to minimise accidents because the wearer will be more visible to others, particularly after dark when seen in the light from vehicle headlamps.
