QUALITY STATEMENT

 

 

 

We are passionate about quality. Every Glove sling is made with great care and pride by dedicated and highly 
skilled people, trained under our Investors in People program.  We only use the best materials from monitored 
suppliers.  

COMFORT VALUE

TM

 slings are designed and manufactured to exceed the requirements of BS EN 10535-

2006.  We are proud that our quality system has been independently accredited to ISO 9001-2015.  Every sling 
carries a quality tag signed by the person responsible for making and inspecting it, and also by our quality 
inspector who thoroughly checks it again before it is packed for dispatch.  Every sling is traceable, via a unique 
serial number, so in the unlikely event that any imperfection reaches you, we can fully investigate it.  We are 
passionate about quality!

 

  
 
 

WARRANTY 

 

 

The

 sling comes with a one-

year manufacturer’s warranty.  

We proudly guarantee every 

sling we make to be free of defects in materials and workmanship. Product damage through wear and tear, 
neglect or accidental damage is not covered by the warranty.  If you have a problem with a

sling, don’t worry, we are here to support you.  

 

 

  
 

PRODUCT CARE

 

 

Just like your clothes, a sling will gradually deteriorate with washing and will need replacing when it shows signs 
of wear. Laundering varies enormously in temperature, vigour and frequency depends on user requirements and 
hygiene policies. The life of the sling will vary accordingly. Every sling is marked with its maximum wash 
temperature. If infection control requirements permit a sling to be washed at a lower temperature on a more 
gentle cycle, it will last longer, just like your clothes. 

 

Deterioration due to laundering may be indicated by discolouration to some materials or fading labels, however 
a sling may still be safe to use (provided the label is still legible). 

 

We offer a re-labelling service combined with a LOLER examination to ensure ongoing safety.

Unlike clothes, slings are exposed to considerable loading and deterioration can affect safety. This is why it 
makes sense for a sling to be replaced when it is worn or damaged, rather than after a specified time. As with 
clothes, it is virtually impossible to predict the life expectation of a sling in months or years.
