guidance on the proper use
Under the PPE Regulation, all industries and workplaces are subject to a large number of regulations that require employers, regardless of the size of the company, to carry out a risk assessment in accordance with the current regulations to reduce the risk of workplace hazards and provide a safe working environment.
General safety management and risk assessment involve practical steps that protect employees from injuries and accidents through hazard identification, risk analysis and risk management. This risk assessment is the basis for choosing PPE when it is not possible to avoid or eliminate risks in the working environment and thus also helps to safeguard the future success and growth of your company. Good practice in security makes good business sense and at ELKA we are ready to help with guidance on the proper use of your waterproof work protection.
oxford polyester
windproof, waterproof & breathable
Functional rainwear requirements are increasing every day. Freedom of movement must be absolutely right, and waterproof clothing should not be an obstacle. This part of the Securetech Mutinorm collection is made from 100% windproof, waterproof and breathable Oxford Polyester for optimal comfort and freedom of movement.
The Oxford polyester is laminated with the ELKA Tech Membrane, a high-end thin PU membrane which has very high waterproof abilities and breathabilty. The collection also contains certified zip-in jackets.
pu/polyester
durable, lightweight & flexible
The Securetech Mutinorm collection also features antiflame and antistatic thick 200g PU/ Polyester products, which are windproof, waterproof and stretchable, ensuring comfort and freedom of movement while working.
The products are durable, lightweight and flexible, ranging from solid colored products to high visibility and with other relevant EN standards, required when working in exposed workspaces.
the ppe regulation
3 categories
The PPE Regulation (EU) 2016/425 contains 3 categories of labor protection that are essential to know before choosing PPE.
- Category I - low risk of injury (eg EN 343 - protection against rain)
- Category II - risk of injury (eg EN ISO 20471 – high visibility)
- Category III - high risk of injury (eg IEC 61482-2 - electric arc formation)
Category 1 products do not require a type-approval certificate. For type 2, type-approval certificate and declaration of conformity must be made, while all category 3 products apply as part of a larger annual quality assurance (module D) of the PPE Regulation, where certificates and products are checked by the notified body which has issued the original certificate, to ensure that the products meet the strict requirements of the certifications at all times.
quality matters
quality is not always visible
We develop the strongest, waterproof workwear on the market and quality assurance is key in our everyday work. We test the tear-resistance and functionality of our fabric. The most effective way to do this is through the relationship with our ambassadors. Our ambassadors field-test the products in an authentic environment during the development phase, ensuring that the products live up to industry expectations.
To increase our quality assurance in production facilities spread across several continents, we have developed a digital software platform. It is built around the military AQL standard and allows us to follow the individual productions worldwide confidently and carry out control of raw materials, production and shipping.
