INTRODUCTION TO PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND CERTIFICATIONS What is protective clothing? Protective clothing [PPE - Personal Protective Equipment] is clothing that either replaces or supplements regular workwear to protect against potential hazards in the work environment. It forms an important part of personal protective equipment, which includes both protective clothing, but also equipment for the eyes, head, feet, lungs, etc. Personal protective equipment is divided into three categories depending on the level of risk: Category I: Simple protective equipment - low risk Category II: Personal protective equipment not included in category 1 or 3 Category III: Complex protective equipment that protects against life-threatening situations or irreversible damage to health - high risk. It is the employer’s responsibility to conduct a risk analysis and determine what PPE is needed in the specific work situation. However, we also take our share of responsibility. That’s why all our PPE is compliant with the Personal Protective Equipment Regulation - EU 2016/425. You can find the applicable Declaration of Conformity for all MASCOT PPE on our website.
