Become a member of the BSIF and help to shape the future of the UK Safety Industry.
Traditionally BSIF membership has been seen as being for businesses that Manufacture and Distribute PPE and Safety Products, promoting the necessity of compliant, certified and up to task products and informing the market of the importance of purchasing from reliable, educated and trustworthy sources, that’s what BSIF members are.
Whilst this remains at the forefront of BSIF’s ethos, evolution is coming! BSIF are delighted to announce a membership expansion pilot to embrace employers, duty holders and safety professionals. The opportunity to join the BSIF comes with a multitude of benefits, not just for those who become members, but for the industry as a whole, a direct link between suppliers and buyers all under the same collaborative Federation.
BSIF see the future of the Safety Industry as one that allows suppliers to work with employers, duty holders and safety professionals to enhance the standard of protection for the UK workforce.
The BSIF Pilot scheme has been designed to shape how this relationship will work, the early entrants to the new type of membership will have a unique opportunity to influence the direction of travel for the BSIF and help in the creation of an all-encompassing Federation.
