What did we offer?
At Murphy safety is paramount. We were invited to participate in wearer trials at the time of Murphy’s PPE review. We worked closely with the SHESQ leadership team working in the water sector and with the highways team to ensure three key drivers were met.
- Performance
- Longevity
- Cost
The Range
A diverse service provider like Murphy needs a diverse range of styles and trialled the following:
Following a successful period of testing these 6 styles are now specified by J Murphy & Sons. The trialling process was beneficial for all parties and we are pleased with the results. Matthew Noon
In 2016 Murphy reviewed all its PPE to ensure it was not only fit for purpose but also comfortable, easy to wear and offered value over the products’ life. We approached Rock Fall to help us as they had excellent knowledge of both the industry and the products, and helped us carry out targeted trials. Not only do the chosen products exceed the EN design criteria, we’ve received positive feedback from the operatives about the comfort levels and clever design features. Kevin Budge, SHESQ
Our future
As the Rock Fall range is continually being developed other products are discussed when the time is appropriate. Ongoing wearer feedback is reviewed to ensure the continual performance and value for money is achieved.
