any one got a link to where the legislation states gloves must be supplied?
Our ram's state; gloves--only in certain circumstances ie; an all glove site
as you can guess our lads are not supplied with gloves on a regular basis.
Even our safety officer agree's with the boss it's advisable but not compulsory!!!!
i dont wear gloves in summer but in winter i do, im a scaffolder not a machine, is my boss under a legal obligation to supply me with them? he gets us a pair once a month if were lucky,
i know fine well if something was to happen to your hands threw work the first think the gaffer/hse/insurasnce would ask is was he wearing gloves.
I dont like wearing gloves sepsally in the summer but you have no idea whats on that tube dog **** rat **** theres feking all sorts. Yan fella said to me about having a **** out side wagon and not washing me hands b4 getting a fag out looked down his hands were black holding his sandwich after working wid gear out of a water treatment plant i just laffed at him mental

If your PAYE, he MUST supply them as you need new ones.
But what chance do you have?? Kick off about not supplying PPE and find yourself out of a job (the reason i was 'laid off' London Bridge, 1 month before EVERYONE else).
Better to buy your own, i think.
Least then you can get the ones that you really want and not the cheapest nastiest ones your Boss can find.
Kicked off for raising an issue about PPE? Did you tell the union? Why didnt the other lads go to the gate in support of you?
it's the gaffer that wont supply them marra, tight arse git
i know a scaffolder who. Told me he got the sack on the same job for having a sh i t in firms time they recon the man in charge is a right armhole
i can remember a load of brickies whose boss wouldnt let them smoke roll ups at work due to lost time rolling them. Tailor mades were ok.
