OUR HISTORY

PANDA SAFETY started operating 40 years ago, in 1979, in Cisternino, a splendid town in southern Italy where the company set up so as to grow and develop. Furthermore, through research into raw materials and increasingly high-performance components, the Company managed to offer a product whose durability in time is guaranteed. This geographical location is in no way random, on the contrary, it is the result of the strong determination of the founder and current CEO, Luigi Gargiullo, who has always believed in the potential of his own territory. Over the years that followed, PANDA SAFETY continued to increase its own know-how and to evolve, concentrating its product development activity on improving the morpho-anatomical characteristics of the footwear and on perfecting the protective function so that they would be suitable for any working context and thus in contact with any type of surface or material. Thanks to these extremely high standards of quality, typical of Italian excellence, the PANDA SAFETY trade mark has earned the trust, over the years, of numerous distributors and final users both domestically and at an international level, being sold in more than 70 countries all over the world. A result which bears witness to the reliability of the PANDA SAFETY product: your ideal partner at work even in the most extreme conditions.

CERTIFICATIONS

Certification of the quality management system (regulated by the ISO 9000 series) specifies the requirements to be used when an organisation wants to demonstrate its own capacity to provide products that satisfy the customers’ requirements and aims at satisfying them. To that effect, PANDA SAFETY has established and implemented a process of monitoring and continuous improvement of the quality management system.

The certification of the environmental management system (regulated by the ISO standard 14000 series) certifies the capacity of our organisation to define an environmental policy suited to the nature, to the dimensions and to the environmental impacts of its activities and of its products. The certification also attests the suitability of our company to identify the quality objectives, to prepare and implement an appropriate system for achieving these objectives and to constantly seek improvement of its own environmental services. Working in this way, PANDA SAFETY not only protects today’s community, but also the generations to come.

ISO 45001 is an ISO standard for management systems of occupational health and safety (OHS), published in March 2018. The goal of ISO 45001 is the reduction of occupational injuries and diseases, including promoting and protecting physical and mental health. The standard is based on OHSAS 18001, conventions and guidelines of the International Labour Organization, and national standards. It includes elements that are additional to OHSAS 18001 which it is replacing over a three-year migration period from 2018 to 2021. As of March 2021, companies and organizations should have migrated to ISO 45001 to retain a valid certification
