EMPLOYEE CLOTHING It is required that employees wear clothing items specified by the Utilities for their position and activity during working time. For regular field workers potentially exposed to electric hazards, the Utilities will provide an initial issue of five fire retardant long sleeved shirts, five fire retardant pants, and five fire retardant tee shirts per outside employee exposed to electric hazards. A second set of five fire retardant long sleeved shirts, five fire retardant pants, and five fire retardant tee shirts will be issued after the probationary period. As an alternative option, one fire retardant hooded fleece may be substituted for two fire retardant long-sleeved shirts and/or one sweatshirt may be substituted for two long-sleeved shirts. Field Supervisors may substitute logoed fire retardant dress shirts for fire retardant uniform shirts. Provided clothing may also include: lineman’s climbing boots, summer work boots, rubber boots, rubber overshoes, insulated winter boots, and coveralls (used for maintenance on trucks). The Utilities will issue a check to the supplier for the covered items. For Commissioners and employees other than regular field workers, the Utilities will provide a $75 annual allowance for Utilities logo clothing. On an annual basis, the Utilities will replace worn out items that have been provided by the Utilities. Worn out items should be turned in to the Utilities. The Utilities will also provide and replace the following as necessary in the Utilities’ discretion: fire retardant lined and unlined bib overalls, fire retardant lined parka and hood, fire retardant lined bomber jacket, and hats with the appropriate emblems and identification. Upon the end of employment with the Utilities, an employee must return all Utilities- logoed clothing items that were issued to him or her that were paid for by the Utilities. 135
