Exposing personal protective equipment (PPE) myths is entertaining, but it’s more than just a bit of fun. In the safety industry, misunderstandings can be a hazard—especially if, as a result, users of PPE conclude they are better protected than they actually are or worse, that they are protected when they are not.
Our latest eBook, “10 More PPE Myths: More Common Misconceptions About PPE, Protection and CE Standards,” uncovers recent and alarming myths and misinterpretations of standards that you may be interested in learning more about to protect the safety of your workers.

The eBook explores:
- Common standards and how they can be misinterpreted.
- Garment testing and how standards may not reveal true protection effectiveness.

- Common questions related to specific products and the protection they provide.
- Standards and how they are commonly misunderstood or misinterpreted — sometimes with potentially dangerous consequences.
