dbuckley Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 ... that will probably require an additional staff member in H&S to carry out an initial inspection, then maintain an annual inventory of reflective stripesAre those stripes assets or consumables? Its an important budgetary question, capital expenditure or revenue. Accountants will need to know these things Is it actually possible to put on a show in the UK?

mark_s Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Getting slightly back on topic, I was told today by our H&S people that my hi-viz jacket didn't meet current requirements. Apparently it doesn't have enough stripes.... That's going a bit far, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Higgs Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Also I believe it s employers duty to provide PPE but employees duty/choice to use them.Of course this is all subject to risk assesment! Er, no. If it is provided by the employer, you must use it where the employer has deemed it necessary.The only time you may have a case is if the use of the PPE is inappropriate such that it creates risks that weren't there before (like hard hats dropping to the ground from a height - usually because the spec of the PPE isn't appropriate) To meet the EN standard, a hi vis for such work needs two rows of reflective stripe.PPE is an area generally where complying with the EN standards is legally necessary. Couldn't find the OP, but never mind.I could - quote fixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
