Who provides these items – the employee or employer? (Sam Herbert) https://padlet.com/kelly_breckon/5cuwem2fzica/wish/300608066 Safety equipment such as work gloves, footwear, and safety headgear are not considered special clothing, as special clothing is that which is associated with the employer. Example: a uniform with the employer's logo on it. In that case, an employer is required to provide the employee with it, and reimburse them for maintaining it. Safety equipment is therefore not special clothing unless associated with the employer. ]]> 2018-11-05 17:32:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kelly_breckon/5cuwem2fzica/wish/300608066 13.
