Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: July 19, 2026
PSAWEAR is reader-supported. We publish independent, standards-based guides on safety gear and personal protective equipment, and we want to be completely transparent about how the site is funded. Some of the links on this website are affiliate links. This page explains what that means, how we handle it, and how it affects you.
What affiliate links are
An affiliate link is a special tracking link to a product on a retailer’s website. If you click one of these links and go on to buy something, we may earn a small commission from the retailer. This commission is paid by the retailer out of its own margin — it does not increase the price you pay. Whether you use our links or navigate to the retailer directly, the price is exactly the same.
Amazon Associates Program
PSAWEAR is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. As required by the program, we disclose the following:
As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
Amazon, the Amazon logo, AmazonSupply, and the AmazonSupply logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates. Product prices and availability on Amazon are accurate as of the date/time indicated on Amazon and are subject to change. Any price and availability information displayed on Amazon at the time of purchase will apply to the purchase of the product.
How we label affiliate links
We follow the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and clear disclosure of material connections. To make our affiliate links easy to identify:
- They are marked “(Ad)” at or near the link, along with a short reminder that we may earn a commission.
- They use the appropriate link attributes (such as
rel="sponsored nofollow") as recommended for paid and affiliate links. - This disclosure page is linked site-wide so the relationship is always available to you.
Our editorial independence
Our recommendations are based on research, published safety standards (such as ANSI, ASTM, NIOSH, OSHA, CPSC and NFPA guidance), and genuine usefulness to our readers — not on which retailer pays a commission. Earning an affiliate commission never changes our editorial opinion, and we do not accept payment to give a product a favorable review. Where a link points to a general product category rather than a single item, it is meant as a helpful starting point for your own comparison and purchase decision.
Other affiliate programs
In addition to the Amazon Associates Program, PSAWEAR may participate in other affiliate or advertising programs from time to time. The same principles apply to all of them: your price is never affected, links are disclosed, and our editorial recommendations remain independent.

No protective equipment can prevent all injuries. Always follow the certification requirements and instructions printed on your equipment, and consult a qualified professional for guidance specific to your situation.
