Common use of Safety Gear Clause in Contracts

Safety Gear. Where safety gear or personal protective equipment (PPE) is required/mandated by the City, it will be paid for by the City 100%, excluding safety boots, which will be paid as addressed below. Regular Benefited and seasonal employees who are required by the City to wear safety boots will be offered safety boots as follows: employees may select boots from a City-authorized vendor at work or from a non-City authorized vendor on the employee's own time. Prior to purchasing a pair of safety boots, authorization from a supervisor is required. The maximum amount allowable for a pair of safety boots is $200. Employees who purchase safety boots from a non-City authorized vendor must submit a receipt for reimbursement. Employees on probation may receive one pair of safety boots. After probation, employees may acquire a second pair of safety boots. Safety boots may be replaced when worn out beyond their useful life. On an exceptional basis and based on the needs of a particular position (e.g., electrician boots), a supervisor may authorize the purchase of one pair of safety boots costing up to $400 instead of two pairs of safety boots costing up to $200 each. Failure to wear required safety boots on the job will be grounds to send an employee home without pay. It will be the responsibility of the employee to wear safe, appropriate personal clothing while at work. The administration will make the determination of what is mandated after considering any recommendation of the safety committee.
