Kevin - as usual lots of 'labelling' stuff, but what's really needed is a legal requirement for the end-user to replace the things as recommended, and I assume Jack is right (he's spent enough time checking it out) that this does not actually exist. Ours (all PPE) get checked several times a year (we're forced to turf out our cars as well) and binned as soon as they're 'out of date' or damaged, even if they've never been out of the office, but how common is this in the real world? I've seen some well-ancient hard-hats in builders' mess-rooms...
