| "There
are two kinds of reflective wear on the market today - Safety
standard compliant reflective wear and secondly, reflective
wear that looks like it and usually claims to be, but isn't.
The compliant kind can save lives. The non-compliant kind
can take lives. So it's all about ones conscience."
In
comparison, the non-compliant version costs a fraction to
manufacture, so clearly there is a formidable mark-up while
buyers perceive great savings and value for their spend
at the same time.
The
trouble is that non-compliant goods, are more often than
not, portrayed as the real thing, where at best all they
can achieve is a false sense of security! Did you know that
non-compliant goods have been known to have reflectivity
of just over 10 meters - Yes, 30 foot!!! This means around
ONE SECOND after the wearer is seen by the driver's headlights,
he is already making his way across the bonnet or grill
of the driver's vehicle! And that is at only 20 - 30 MPH!
Knowing
the difference, would you associate your Company name with
the wrong kind?
We
wish to see these life-threatening products eradicated from
the market altogether.
Reflective promotional gifts are for businesses,
organizations and people who share a genuine concern for
the personal road safety of the British public.
Having
said that, there are clearly many organisations whose only
drive in life is doing things on the cheap, believing they'll
always get away with it. Not to mention all those who seriously
believe that you can always get the same products for a
fraction of the price by looking around.
Back
in august of 2007 Denmark was the first EU member state
to criminalize the sale of non-compliant reflective wear!
More of this please. We applaud this stand; it certainly
made 2007 a special year for road safety. You just watch,
other member-states will follow!
So,
we join in the fight against ignorance and deliberate exploitation
of the road safety plight. And we do this not with anger
or annoying self-righteousness, but through education, awareness
and resilience, and with quality products and dedicated
service.
We
bring you authentic Glozone™ reflective promotional
merchandise. Made using European Safety Standard CE EN 13356,
CE EN 1150 and CE EN 471 compliant reflective materials
respectively.
Would you stuff your sleeping bag into a backpack marked
"Parachute"?
No,
nor would we.
Together
we can make a difference! |
