We can reserve the product for you and inform you as soon as it is available again. Back orders are usually delivered within 14 days. In exceptional cases we will contact you.
My back order is taking longer than 14 days
Certain products come from outside the EU, which can mean that your product is in transit for longer than 14 days because of customs clearance. We thank you for your understanding in these situations.

Warranty

What should I do if my product is damaged?
If damage occurs to a product, we advise you to contact us as soon as possible. That way we can assess the situation and help you further right away.
How is it determined whether I am entitled to warranty?
We first assess whether it concerns a product or production fault, or whether the damage occurred later through use. The age of the product plays a smaller role in this. Experience shows that most defects occur within the first 3 months after the product is put into use.
Is a defective product exchanged immediately?
This differs per product. By law, the manufacturer must be given the opportunity to repair or restore the product where possible. Other products can also be repaired locally. For each product we therefore look together at the best solution.
What should I do with a defective product?
Always contact us first when you have a defective product. Together we will look at the best solution and at the further handling.
May I send a defective product back straight away?
No, never send a defective product back without contacting us first. This prevents misunderstandings and allows us to help you better. Always include a return form with your shipment; you can download it on the returns page.
Where can I send my return shipment?
Return shipments can be sent to: Safety Green B.V. Energieweg 3 6662 NS Elst (GLD) The Netherlands

Inspections

Do you also inspect personal protective equipment (PPE)?
Yes, we employ a number of certified inspectors and inspect all kinds of PPE (personal protective equipment). An appointment must always be made for inspections. You can arrange this with us by phone, by email or via WhatsApp.
When do my items need to be inspected?
According to the manufacturer's instructions, PPE (personal protective equipment) must be inspected every 12 months (annually). As an employer you also have the obligation to provide your employees with inspected equipment. If you do not do this, you risk a fine. In the event of an accident you can be held liable as an employer and insurers may refuse cover. For a self-employed entrepreneur there is no direct fine if materials are not inspected. The manufacturer's instructions, such as an annual inspection, do however remain in force. In the event of an accident, insurers assess whether sufficient care has been given to the maintenance and checking of the materials. If it turns out that materials have not been inspected and the accident could possibly have been prevented by an inspection, there is a chance that damage or incapacity for work will not be compensated.
Do I need to inspect my equipment myself?
Yes, you must inspect your materials for damage and wear yourself, both before and after use. If you find damage or wear, Safety Green advises you to stop using this equipment and to have it inspected where possible.

Repairs

Is it possible to have purchased products repaired?
This depends on the product, its age and the condition of the item. Always contact us for repair questions. You can do this by email or via WhatsApp. Send us your question together with a photo of the item to be repaired. We will answer your question as soon as possible.
