When you are issued a pair of safety spectacles or a welding helmet, have you ever noticed a certification label on the packaging and/or on the product itself and wondered what it really means?
There are lots of expressions used to capture your attention: "Safety Inspected," "Stamp of Approval," "Quality Checked," "Tested and True." The list is endless. What does it all mean, and how do you really know if the product will do what it is supposed to do - that is, protect you from a potential hazard while you are working? We all want to buy a quality product, particularly where personal safety is concerned.
