Hi-Viz Workwear From BMG
The Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992 states that employers must provide appropriate protective clothing and equipment for their employees.
The regulations on hi-viz clothing also state that employers must:
- Provide the hi-viz clothing required for the job. Such clothing is to be free of charge to any employees who, in the course of their work, may be exposed to significant safety risks;
- Maintain stocks of high-visibility clothing in a clean state and in a good state of repair. All clothing should be thoroughly inspected before being given to employees;
- Provide storage facilities, such as lockers, for clothing when it is not in use;
- Ensure that employees use hi-vis clothing correctly by providing them with adequate information, instruction and training. Such information should explain the safety risks entailed in their work, why wearing the hi-viz clothing and other PPE is necessary and when and how it should be worn; and
- Supervise employees to ensure that they wear the clothing as instructed and in compliance with the relevant industry standards.
Here at BMG we stock a full range of hi-viz fleeces, overalls, aprons, headwear, t-shirts, jackets trousers and waistcoats in a wide range of colours and fits so whatever your employees need, we have it for you.
