Refusing all uniform in safety roles

Overview
High-vis/Fire-proof clothing is mandatory.
For Employees
If the fabric hurts, ask for a "cotton version" or alternative supplier, not to wear your own clothes.
For Employers
Safety uniform is non-negotiable. Material adjustments are fine; total refusal is not.
Key Considerations
- Sensory fabric adjustment?
- Alternative supplier.
