RELATED TO HELLY HANSEN WORKWEAR

Helly Hansen Workwear’s (PPE) products are manufactured and certified in accordance with the
Regulation (EU) 2016/425 by using harmonised European standards and therefore are CE marked.

The importance to ensure the wellbeing and safety of workers highlights the need of suitable
personal protective equipment. Regulation (EU) 2016/425 defines obligation for the employers to
provide the most appropriate protection against health risks and other potential hazards for their
employees. That can be defined during a strict Risk Assessment at the workplace based on the PPE
Regulation guidelines.

Based of various potential dangers at work, the PPE must meet relevant safety standards. Helly
Hansen workwear is intended to prevent health risks that can happen during exposure to cold, heat,
fire, rain, limited visibility and similar.
