Interactive PPE guide textile service
Aufgrund seines breiten Know-hows und seiner hohen Kompetenz in der Textildienstleistung erstellte der Güteausschuss der Gütegemeinschaft sachgemässe Wäschepflege e.V. den „PSA Wegweiser Textilservice - Auswahl, Beschaffung, Einsatz & Aufbereitung“. Diese als Loseblattsammlung angelegte Publikation im Internet bietet sowohl Anwendern als auch dem Textildienstleister umfangreiche Hilfestellung.
In contrast to work clothing, PPE - personal protective equipment - is regulated by law. Therefore, it is also subject to more extensive rules and regulations and EU ordinances. In order to provide manufacturers, users, retailers, associations and service providers with a useful and helpful tool, the PPE Guide Textile Service - Selection, Procurement, Use & Preparation was developed.
Competence in textile services
The PSA Guide to Textile Services provides information on legal aspects, changes in regulations, washing and cleaning procedures, repairs, recycling offers, through to market developments, trends and cross-industry issues. Experts from the laundry industry (textile service providers, textile manufacturers or garment manufacturers and trade/associations) as well as specialists from the Hohenstein Institute and the professional associations and their bodies have their say. The relevant information from lectures, conferences, workshops, symposia and various publications is summarized and made available in the PSA Guide to Textile Services.
One of the most urgent industry topics at the moment is certainly the EU's new PPE regulation. From April 2018, it will replace the previous PPE Directive. The tasks and consequences for the industry arising from this are set out in detail in the PPE guide.
Interactive service and information offer
The concept of creating the PSA Textile Service Guide on the Internet as a loose-leaf collection makes it possible to include current topics in the portfolio at short notice. A concluding section helpfully rounds off the offering with explanations of terms, additional literature and (topic and subject) explanations. Here, among other things, definitions are provided for working and Protective clothing and the emergence of norms and standards in the context of occupational health and safety, as well as listing research projects related to the Signpost. With the implementation of the Signpost, easy navigation via links within the Signpost and to valuable information material becomes possible.
