Inclusivity and the importance of sizing for everybody
The new British Standard BS 30417 Provision of Inclusive PPE – Guide is due to be launched this September. The Standard will provide guidance and key considerations in the design, manufacture and selection of inclusive PPE and workwear. Understanding the anthropometric data and body measurements of those wearing and using PPE is key in both the design and selection stages. The panel will discuss the importance of ‘Fit for Form’ and correctly fitting PPE, with practical steps for end users and manufacturers to consider.
