I am looking for a bit of guidance on the provision of Boots to Employees

I appreciate that the company must provide its employees with all PPE but as there are so many boots available at varying Costs it has always been a bit of a grey area ( Or is it just me)

I understand that if the employees work dictates that he requires a specific boot depending on the work he is asked to udertake then the employer must provide it

I am seeking some guidance if there is any information anyway or any guidance on the provision of boots for employees

I have worked for one company whose employees were governed by union agreements who have stipulated that a monetary allowance is given to employees based on a reasonable price for a good quality standard of Boot meeting all the normal requirements.

Many employees go out and buy there own boots as people often feel comfortable in certain boots using the allowance they are entilted to.

Does anyone know if there is a set figure or is there anything written down as guidance for employers.
