High Visibility Care from the UK's Leading Service Provider

All workwear provides wearers with increased comfort and protection against their environment. However for employees wearing high visibility, these items are also an important piece of safety equipment, ensuring that they can be easily seen in their environment, so its crucial that high visibility workwear remains clean and maintained to ensure workers safety.

The Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations (1992) state:
“ Every employer shall ensure that any personal protective equipment provided to his employees is maintained (including replaced or cleaned as appropriate) in an efficient state, in an efficient working order and in good repair.”

Experts in the provision of specialist, technical workwear and workwear laundry services, PHS Besafe has launched Premier Arc, a dedicated laundry service exclusively designed to remove the heaviest of soiling whilst maintaining the effectiveness of the Arc:Gear range. This ensures the life of the clothing is extended, dramatically reducing the workwear replacement cycle.

The Premier Arc laundry process encompasses a 12 point procedure, each part designed to ensure garments are cleaned, repaired and replaced with the maximum of care and the minimum of disruption. In terms of the wash method, all products are presented for the PHS Besafe unique wash process utilising the Aqueous wash cycle at 40 degrees. This wash process is designed to remove as much contaminant as possible whilst protecting the fabrics and components of the garment. Once the garment has been laundered, a visual inspection is carried out to ensure contaminant removal has taken place. If required the garments will be laundered again to ensure optimum removal of contaminants has occurred. All high visibility arc products are then dried through the PHS Besafe tunnel process. The temperature does not exceed 90 degrees to ensure reflective and sealing tapes and fabrics are not damaged in the drying process. An integrity inspection is then undertaken to check zips, press studs and sealing tapes are all still intact.

Although the wash process is an integral part of the service, PHS Besafe recognises the need for a fully comprehensive service. In addition to the washing of the garments, the Premier Arc service also includes:
• collection of all clothing from the client’s site
• scanning of all items for tracking purposes
• repairing faults when necessary
• inspection sheets outlining all guaranteed checks
• a commitment to return garments within one week.

Besafe already take care of thousands of high visibility garments every week for industries as diverse as:

• Aggregates industry
• Engineering industries

• Transport industries
• Utilities industries
