n Great Britain there are standards and markings for protective clothing prescribed by the British Organization for Standardization and the European Union. Employers are required to provide appropriate protective clothing and equipment to their employees and ensure that clothing is properly maintained and replaced when necessary. They are also required to train their employees on the proper use of protective clothing and the necessary precautions to be taken in the workplace to reduce the risk of injury and illness. This final paper will investigate the use of safety marks in GB, the most common types of safety marks and how they are regulated. Furthermore, the current laws and acts will be presented through reading, interpreting and translating the mentioned acts from professional English as the source language. Finally, the paper shall provide insight into changes, improvements and development of personal protective clothing through time. The Personal Protective Equipment Act, as the basic law in Great Britain for protective clothing, prescribes the duties of the employer and the worker, as well as the rules for placing work safety clothing on the market. Clothing must comply with standards, regulations and the law. In order to be placed on the market, it must pass a series of resistance tests before its use. In order to choose the appropriate protective clothing, employers must go through a series of hierarchical procedures through which they analyse the needs of the workers in the employment relationship in order to protect them from undesirable risks at work. To make it easier for the employers, there is a system of safety standards that prescribes minimum conditions and obligations in the employment relationship. A large number of safety standards are used for personal protective clothing, and some of the most common (ISO, IEC, BS and EN) are noted. Some of the classic examples of protective clothing with associated markings, standards and pictograms are listed. Protective clothing standards and markings in the UK and around the world provide confidence and safety to buyers of any protective clothing.
