A win-win collaboration between schools and SIP Protection
Cultivating a safety culture from the ground up
At the heart of SIP Protection's collaboration with schools lies a shared vision of cultivating a safety culture from the ground up. By engaging with educational institutions, we’re not merely providing products; we’re investing in the future workforce, instilling essential safety practices that can save lives.
Integration of training sessions
One of the cornerstones of this collaboration is the integration of practical training sessions. SIP Protection doesn't just supply protective garments; we actively participate in workshops, training sessions and school open days. This hands-on approach ensures that students not only understand the importance of safety but also know how to apply it in real-world scenarios.
A win-win Collaboration
The collaboration between SIP Protection and the schools is undeniably a win-win situation. Schools benefit from access to industry expertise, resources, and opportunities for their students. In addition, our presence at championships organised by these schools, underlines the importance of prioritising safety in forestry operations.
We, on the other hand, gain valuable insights and feedback, as new products are sometimes tested by these schools because this audience is much more neutral than some of our other testers. By leveraging the expertise and perspective of schools as testing partners, we ensure that our products meet the highest standards of performance and reliability, reinforcing our commitment to protecting the lives and well-being of forestry professionals worldwide.
Why have these schools chosen SIP Protection?
Lycée Technique Agricole, Gilsdorf, LU :
‘SIP Protection is an important and reliable partner for the Lycée Technique Agricole, because they understand our needs and they can respond to the specific needs and daily challenges of students and teachers in the environment section. For us, comfortable, functional clothing that provides effective protection against injury and bad weather is essential to ensure that lessons proceed smoothly and efficiently.’
IPC Groene Ruimte, Arnhem, NL:
‘At IPC Groene Ruimte, we choose SIP Protection clothing because it means we choose a neutral brand. SIP Protection only manufactures personal protective equipment and is therefore uncoloured. Also, the fit of the different clothes is comfortable, which is very nice.
What's nice about working with the SIP Protection team is that any feedback is dealt with immediately and you have immediate contact with the right person. If a piece of protection is missing somewhere that you would like to see, then the designer will be on the phone in no time, rather than an intermediary. Those short lines between execution and design are nice.
Our training and education are European-oriented, following EFESC guidelines. In these, we refer by default to the correct use of safety clothing and personal protective equipment. So SIP Protection’s clothing fits in seamlessly with this. I hope we can work together in this way for many years to come!’
Lycée polyvalent Louise Weiss – Bac Pro Forêt, Achères, FR :
‘Since wearing forestry clothing became compulsory in 1985, the Louise Weiss high school in Sainte Marie Aux Mines (Haut-Rhin) has been using SIP Protection PPE. The quality and robustness of our clothing are essential to our 3-year training courses. Students are sensitive to the materials used, as well as to design and comfort in all seasons. High visibility means that teams can be spotted in the forest immediately. SIP Protection is always ready to listen and respond to the specific needs of forestry schools.’
