Prevent PPE Theft with PIP_® Logoed Safety Products

A big problem plaguing businesses is internal employee theft of P.P.E. workplace supplies. Custom logos can help reduce pilferage, enhance customer perception AND elevate brand recognition.

Unfortunately for businesses, workplace theft appears to be an increasingly common problem. A pair of safety glasses here, a pair of work gloves or two there, a hard hat, a safety vest, a bump cap – who would ever miss these little items should they disappear from the workplace?

Personal protection equipment seems abundant and ready for the taking, right? Well, they may seem that way to the nonchalant employee who rationalizes his or her choices for workplace theft, but the truth is, these items have been purchased for work-related use, and work-related use alone.

Taking supplies for a home project or "left behind" is just not work-related. No matter how a person rationalizes it, stealing is stealing. And stealing is costly and disruptive to businesses.

So what makes people pilfer from the company storehouse or supply cabinet anyway? Experts offer varied theories, but most agree that the decision to steal and commit fraud is based on complex sociological factors.

Why do employees steal?

Financial pressures, such as gambling, an addiction or credit card debts. Very often when an employee is struggling financially, they may be tempted to steal from their employer - either taking items home for their family or to sell for cash. Their justification the company won’t miss or can easily afford to replace missing stock.

Opportunity, or the employee’s perception that an opportunity to commit theft exists. This may arise from the company’s poor internal checks and balances or loose discipline.

Entitlement that the company for which they work for owes them something. They don’t see pilfering stock as theft but rather taking what was rightfully theirs to begin with or owed to them because of poor performance evaluations, demotions, and involuntary cuts in hours, pay reductions or a perception of unfair working conditions or unequal treatment.
