We undertake to supply only safety equipment and related services that fully comply with the standards and regulations and claims made relating to those products and related services. Where appropriate, we will maintain up to date technical files and associated documentation to ensure that regulatory compliance information can be supplied upon request.
Where products are sourced from external organisations which hold technical files relating to the products being offered, we will request confirmation that these files are current, complete, contain appropriate conformity assessment information and, where relevant, regulatory compliance certificates and will take all necessary steps to confirm the validity of the compliance documentation held by that external supplier in respect of the products being sourced.
We maintain a robust recall system for all products supplied, traceability through Lot and batch numbers is maintained with our suppliers/ clients, so we can readily recall items if needs be.
Where services are provided related to safety equipment sourced from external organisations, we will maintain approval from the manufacturer that the services provided are assessed and approved by the external organisation.
The regular gathering and monitoring of customer feedback via our website, google reviews and customer surveys.
Customer complaints procedures, via our website feedback section, and by direct email as well as via telephone are formally documented and stored for ongoing staff training.
