Today, April 28th, we celebrate the World Day for Safety and Health at Work.This date, first commemorated in New York in 1966 and officially established in Portugal in 2001, highlights the importance of protecting workers, promoting safe working environments, and honoring victims of work-related accidents and illnesses.
Ensuring safe and dignified working conditions is a responsibility we all share — and it begins with choosing the right equipment.
One PPE Can Save a Life
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) plays a crucial role in preventing workplace accidents.
However, it’s not enough to use just any PPE — it is essential to ensure that these products comply with legal requirements, certified through CE Marking.
The CE Mark indicates that the equipment:
Meets all safety and health requirements outlined in Regulation (EU) 2016/425;
Provides appropriate protection against occupational risks;
Enables free circulation within the European Economic Area (EEA);
Gives users confidence through certified compliance and quality.
