Anyone can put a boot on a website. We would rather tell you where it came from.
Safety kit is only worth what the certificate behind it is worth.
We sell a short range on purpose. Fewer than fifty products, each one specified properly. Every listing names the standard it is built to and the rating it holds, and nothing goes on sale until we have the certification to support it. Where a product has not cleared that bar, it stays in draft and you never see it.
That is the whole policy. The detail below is for anyone who needs to evidence it.
Four things, before we place an order.
Every supplier data sheet is checked line by line against the standard it cites. If a sheet contradicts itself, it goes back to the manufacturer before anything is listed.
Not per range. A type-examination certificate for one model does not cover a family, and we do not treat it as though it does.
If the image shows a different closure, a different cut or a different material to the data sheet, the product waits until we know which one is right.
Our manufacturers show us their factories. Some of that footage is below.
Certificate verification is the step people ask about most, so here is a real one. In July 2026 one of our glove manufacturers had four leather styles tested against EN 388:2016+A1:2018 by an independent ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory. Abrasion, blade cut, tear and puncture, measured on each style separately rather than once for the whole range.
Those results are the ratings you see on the product pages. Garden glove 3121X. Tactical glove 3332X. Welding glove 4344X.
Two things worth saying plainly. The laboratory’s accreditation belongs to the laboratory, not to the factory. And a test report is not a UKCA or CE certificate: that is issued by an approved body and is what makes a glove legal to sell here. The test report is the working behind the rating.
We ask every manufacturer to confirm their working conditions, wages and hours before we place an order, and we hold their written response on file.
These are supplier declarations. We have not yet commissioned an independent social audit, and we will not describe a declaration as an audit. When that changes, this page changes.
Separately from the 28-day route above, we give a six-month quality guarantee on the goods we sell. It is set out in full at section 7 of our Terms and Conditions. In short:
If a manufacturing defect appears more than 28 days after delivery but within six months, this is the route that applies. If you are not sure which applies, contact us using the details in section 7 and we will tell you.
The other half is whether we can keep supplying you.
We track lead times, minimum order quantities and batch consistency across every supplier. A manufacturer who cannot hold a specification across two orders does not stay on our list.
If a batch arrives wrong, tell us. We replace it and we go back to the factory, and if it happens twice we change factory. You should not be managing our supply chain for us.
Two different things get confused on pages like this, so we will separate them.
Product certification is about the boot, and that is covered above. Business accreditation is about the company handling your order, your account and your data. Ours covers the second:
Colin’s Total Safety is part of We Do Your Group, a Bristol business group that has spent years supplying and supporting UK businesses. These are the accreditations procurement teams ask for at supplier onboarding, and we can provide the certificates.
They are not product safety certifications and we will not present them as though they are.
The Chartered Quality Institute is the professional body for quality management professionals in the United Kingdom and internationally. It promotes excellence in quality, continuous improvement, auditing, and organisational performance.
Quality management and health & safety are closely linked through:
We would rather show you the production line than describe it. This footage comes direct from our manufacturers.
If you want to see something the footage does not cover, ask. We will put it to the factory.
Certificates, declarations of conformity, spec sheets, sizing data. Tell us the product and what your auditor needs.
