UK firm PPSS Group have perhaps designed the very first and potentially only EN ISO 20471:2013 certified stab resistant body armour in the UK. This means security professionals would no longer be required to wear a hi-vis vest over commonly used body armour, in environments where it would be crucial.
The company claims that in the ever-growing sectors who demand body armour, more and more frontline professionals also require high-visibility workwear. According to PPSS Group, using the right safety workwear is not only important to the wearer, but also the employer, who are required to comply with national, European or sometime international guidelines or directives.
