Do You Have To Wear A Hi-Vis Vest On Delivery?

[Syze]

I heard yesterday you had to. I never have and this week I was sweating as it is. Surely the red shirt in bright sunny weather is enough?

[sidewinder]

Yes my old office had it enforced since around 2000.

[demon]

no rule yet

Personally i wore it during the dark and cold winter mornings but seems a bit silly during the summer!

[apple]

i always wear it, have heard so many DIMs contradict each other if you have to or not, that if anything happens they won't be able to weasel out of anything for me not wearing it

[Stormproof]

I wear mine all the time at work, it covers a multitude of sins

[krussel]

I wear it in the winter but in the summer i only wear it on the bike.

Didn't Monica Lewinsky say something similar?

[taurus88]

I wears it when I feels like.

Do what's best for your safety.
When the temperature's 20 centigrade there's more of risk of heat exhaustion wearing it that being run over not.

What utter nonsense, a walking postie having to wear a hi-vis, in broad daylight, in hot weather, absolute nonsense, how come the dick splash at our place hasn't offered up this pearl of stupidity, I wonder.
Would be right up his street, the silly cant.

Apparently you are only entitled to 1 hi-vis a year and they cost £14 each according to one of our lineos. Biggest load of bollocks I had heard come out of a LM mouth in 24hrs.

Only have to wear it in the yard. That is what we were told.

Thats the only place at my DO where it is enforced. Your supposed to where it indoors at the DO / MC as well arnt you? At least thats what Ben Baldwin told me!

PPE is to supplied when needed not when RMs bean counters decide to.
