COUNTERFEIT PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Early day motion 403, tabled 28 October 2014 by Jim Sheridan (Labour). Signed by 63 members.
That this House is concerned that counterfeit personal protective equipment without the necessary certification to meet the appropriate standard is currently being sold in the UK; is alarmed at the danger this puts workers in when such equipment cannot protect them from risks of accidents or long-term health risks; and urges both the Government and businesses to ensure that the personal protective equipment they purchase for employees and contractors has the British certification to meet the appropriate standards of safety.
