However, I think, that every employer should have offered unified and optimal protective equipment to their employees, if wanted to create the optimal working conditions and optimal results of all business activities of the company. Just one personal example. My father has always provided his workers with the best possible safety equipment by his personal judgment, no matter, if they have been working indoor, on the field, in the highway/railway tunnel, or deep in the mine. Many times, I was very impressed to see the state of the art 'safety heavy labor' footwear, gore-tex fabric, electronic communication equipment, top scientific sensor gadgets. He said to me:'I always buy at wholesale - prices, ask for the 'regular customer' and 'direct payment' discounts, and comprehend the cost of any safety equipment and devices as a regular cost of our business activities. He even has his 'fashion designer company', who optimally incorporates company's logo... His company has been always achieving outstanding financial results and minimal employee fluctuations (more than 35 years). p.s. Believe me, his many workers like him very much and are quite proud working for him, even though I am not one of them. p.p.s. While a young apprentice in a large mine, he had experienced many casualties, which had happened due to bad working conditions and lack of safety measures. Maybe, those sightings have profoundly influenced his attitude towards Health and Safety. This new rules are going to clarify this, otherwise quite confused topic.
