Title: Clothing
Post by: ukmediums on November 03, 2003, 02:02:22 am

I have previously posted here stating I am starting a cleaning job at the local school from Monday. I have a chapo from the Council coming on Tuesday to show me about the chemicals etc.

My question is, I know they provide rubber gloves but are they required to provide me with overalls or similar, or a clothing alowance if I am employed by a school/council.

Thanks once again Simon

Hi Simon

Your employer is only under obligation to supply you with protective clothing - so it depends on the chemicals and equipment you use.  

You are not automatically entitled to a 'uniform' however most Companies would supply one.  Ask them the question, I am sure they would be happy to purchase you some overalls.

and some chemicals state that goggles(saftey glasses) are required, and a few even state that u waer face mask :P
I know this is not realy relevent but just thought I'd let you know, but as for clothing a tabbard is normaly sufficent

Yes with stripper and polish you should be issued with protective clothing.
