Modern Slavery & Human Rights Policy

Intersafety Industrial Protection Ltd is committed to preventing modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour and exploitation within our business and supply chain.

As a supplier of PPE, workwear, safety equipment and related services, we recognise that our products may pass through complex supply chains before reaching our customers. We are committed to acting ethically, responsibly and with integrity in our business relationships.

This policy sets out our approach to modern slavery and human rights, the standards we expect from suppliers, manufacturers, contractors and service providers, and the steps we take to reduce the risk of exploitation connected to the products and services we supply.

Our Structure, Business and Supply Chain

Intersafety Industrial Protection Ltd is a UK-based supplier of personal protective equipment, workwear, safety footwear, gloves, respiratory protection, site safety products and related services.

Our operations include office administration, warehouse handling, local deliveries, national courier despatches, embroidery, garment decoration, heat transfer and printing. We source products from a range of suppliers, including UK distributors, specialist PPE manufacturers, workwear brands and product importers. Some products supplied by Intersafety may originate from wider international manufacturing supply chains.

Our Commitment

We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, child labour, servitude and exploitation.

We are committed to:

• conducting business in an ethical and responsible manner;
• working with suppliers who share our commitment to fair and lawful working practices;
• taking reasonable steps to identify and reduce modern slavery risks in our supply chain;
• responding appropriately to any concerns raised by employees, customers, suppliers or other stakeholders;
• reviewing our approach as our business, supplier base and product range develop.

Supply Chain Risk

As a PPE and workwear supplier, we recognise that modern slavery risks may exist in areas such as garment manufacturing, disposable PPE production, raw material sourcing, packaging, logistics, warehousing and labour provision.

We do not claim to have complete visibility of every stage of every product supply chain. However, we expect our suppliers to operate responsibly, comply with applicable laws, and take appropriate steps to prevent exploitation within their own operations and supply chains.

Supplier Expectations

We expect suppliers, manufacturers, contractors and service providers working with Intersafety to comply with all applicable employment, labour, health and safety, human rights and anti-slavery laws.

Suppliers are expected to ensure that:

• all work is voluntary and workers are free to leave employment in accordance with lawful notice periods;
• workers are not subject to forced, bonded, compulsory, trafficked or prison labour;
• workers are not charged recruitment fees or improper deductions as a condition of employment;
• identity documents, passports or work permits are not withheld as a means of control;
• workers receive clear information about their employment terms, wages and working conditions;
• wages are paid lawfully, regularly and without improper deductions;
• working hours comply with applicable law and overtime is voluntary where required by law;
• workers are treated fairly, respectfully and without harassment, intimidation or abuse;
• child labour is not used;
• workers have access to a suitable route for raising concerns or grievances;
• labour agencies and recruitment providers are used responsibly and lawfully.

Due Diligence

We take a risk-based approach to supplier due diligence. This may include reviewing supplier reputation, product origin, certification, ethical sourcing information, audit evidence, supplier policies, and the supplier’s ability to respond to reasonable questions about labour standards and supply chain controls.

Where appropriate, we may ask suppliers to confirm that they comply with applicable employment, labour, human rights and anti-slavery laws. If concerns are identified, we will seek further information and consider appropriate action. This may include asking the supplier to investigate, provide evidence of corrective action, suspend supply of affected products, or, where necessary, end the supplier relationship.

Risk Assessment and Management

We recognise that modern slavery and labour exploitation risks may be higher in certain areas connected to PPE and workwear supply chains, including garment manufacturing, disposable glove and disposable PPE production, raw material processing, packaging, warehousing, logistics and the use of temporary or agency labour.

We manage these risks by maintaining awareness of higher-risk product categories, working with established suppliers, considering supplier transparency, reviewing concerns when they arise, and favouring suppliers who can demonstrate responsible sourcing practices. We do not claim complete visibility of every tier of every supply chain, but we are committed to improving our understanding and acting responsibly where risks are identified.

Purchasing and Product Selection

We will consider modern slavery and human rights risks as part of our supplier and product selection process where appropriate.

This may include considering supplier reputation, product origin, certification, audit information, ethical sourcing policies, environmental or social responsibility commitments, and the supplier’s willingness to respond to reasonable questions about their own supply chain.

Where concerns are identified, we will seek further information and consider appropriate action. This may include working with the supplier to understand and resolve the issue, suspending supply, or ending the relationship where necessary.

Effectiveness and Performance Indicators

We will monitor the effectiveness of our approach using practical performance indicators appropriate to the size and nature of our business. These may include:

• the number of modern slavery or labour exploitation concerns raised;
• the number of supplier concerns reviewed or escalated;
• the number of relevant staff briefed on modern slavery risks;
• the review of key supplier information where appropriate;
• the number of supplier relationships suspended or ended due to unresolved ethical concerns;
• annual review of this policy and related supplier expectations.

If no concerns are identified during a review period, this will not be treated as proof that no risk exists. We will continue to take a proportionate and risk-based approach to modern slavery awareness, supplier engagement and supply chain review.

Training and Staff Awareness

Relevant employees involved in purchasing, supplier management, product selection, warehouse operations and customer service will be made aware of this policy and the potential indicators of modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking and labour exploitation.

Training and awareness activity will be proportionate to each employee’s role. This may include internal briefings, guidance on recognising warning signs, escalation routes for concerns, and reminders during supplier or product review activity.

Employee Awareness

Employees are encouraged to raise concerns if they become aware of anything that may indicate unethical labour practices, exploitation, forced labour or human trafficking within our business or supply chain.

Reporting Concerns

Any employee, supplier, customer or other stakeholder who has concerns about modern slavery or unethical labour practices connected to Intersafety or our supply chain should report those concerns to a Director of Intersafety Industrial Protection Ltd.

Concerns will be treated seriously and reviewed appropriately. We will not knowingly support or continue relationships with organisations that refuse to address credible modern slavery or human rights concerns.

Where there is an immediate risk of harm, concerns should be reported to the appropriate authorities.

Continuous Improvement

We recognise that tackling modern slavery is an ongoing responsibility. We will continue to improve our approach as better information, supplier data, industry standards and reporting practices become available.

This policy will be reviewed periodically and updated where necessary to reflect changes in our business, supplier base, legal requirements or best practice.

Policy Approval

This policy has been approved by the Directors of Intersafety Industrial Protection Ltd.

Review period: This policy will be reviewed annually or sooner if there are significant changes to our operations, supply chain or legal obligations.
