BLS Respiratory Protection – A new dynamic partnership

Breathing the future, protecting people, producing innovation.

For 50 years BLS have been providing advanced and 100% Made in Europe products to improve the air quality in the environments where we live.

Innovation

They offer solutions for respiratory protection for industrial, medical, military and urban environments. We generate innovation by engineering our own production machines. We are a boutique of the fourth industrial revolution based on technological culture, collaboration with universities, production automation and quality of relationships.

They want each of their products to exceed customer expectations: design and manufacture them according to top safety and ergonomics standards.

A constant challenge -Innovation

Quality and innovation are the foundation of their path. The protection of people is the value that inspires and that is why they continue to invest in research and development.

“Our goal is to find cutting-edge solutions to meet or anticipate increasingly advanced needs in terms of safety and sustainability.”

With constant relationships with universities allows them to grasp and realise ideas that are always innovative, thanks to the creativity and support of fresh, young minds. These have led to the birth of projects that are unique in our industry, including their circular economy system, which includes reducing emissions, improving production and logistics processes, using recycled materials, converting waste material into secondary raw materials, and the launch in 2022 of the first IoT mask in the industrial world, which integrates protection, design, technology and comfort.

The future lies in “comfort”. Comfort is not a luxury, it is the way to improve the conditions in which workers operate every day.

Take the risk out of buying PPE and safety equipment: CHECK-SELECT-PROTECT

Under PPE Regulations, buyers of PPE and safety equipment have a responsibility to ensure that the products they buy are compliant, but many buyers don’t have the knowledge and resources to validate suppliers’ claims.

It is easy to assume that if products look like PPE and safety equipment and are marketed as such, they will provide the protection that’s needed. However, mounting evidence shows that this is not always the case, and the use of ineffective products that put people at risk of injury, or worse, is on the rise.

The simple solution is to ensure that your supplier is a member of the BSIF’s Registered Safety Supplier Scheme. Therefore, if you are a business or organisation in the UK that is buying PPE and safety equipment, the BSIF urges you to:

1. CHECK your supplier is BSIF Registered. BSIF audited suppliers are compliant, competent and trustworthy.
2. SELECT appropriate, certified and approved products. Registered Safety Suppliers can support the product selection process through their competence, capability and knowledge.
3. PROTECT your people, your most precious asset, and help your business to thrive.

Anyone can sell safety, but you wouldn’t buy safety from just anyone. Always specify the shield.
