The school mums are so nasty?
I am a childminder and have recently employed an assistant. We thought that it would be a great idea to put high vis yellow vests on the children for safety reasons and because it would promote my business. Then another childminder discovered through school mums, nursery mums and mums from a toddler group in the area and thought it was hallarious. I don't see how me and my friend and a gaggle of kids is a problem wearing these things. It is quite upsetting to know that they are talking about us and saying horrid things when I am trying to make my setting a business. Afterall it costs a fortune to advertise, I thought it would be a great idea. Should we just put them on the kids and the adults not wear them? Or have the school mums won?
Ignore them, we live in central London and my sons school and other local schools sell them with the school name on them and they suggest they are worn to and from school on darker days, they also put some of the money towards children in need. Those women obviously have nothing better to do with their time than stand around putting others down to make themselves feel better. They need a hobby, one that doesn't involve making others feel bad. Why shouldn't you wear them if you want to? It means the kids can see you and as a mother I would think it looked like you were well organised and thinking about safety.

Cut Workplace Accidents = Wear Hi Vis
Like other areas that demand safety workwear, Liverpool requires its use in a multitude of locations such as construction crews working in roadworks or in locations at the edge of the road such as telephone engineers. Liverpool demands for example that all its city workers involved in almost all manual labour wear Hi Vis clothing even if there is no direct danger of being struck by a vehicle.
This now commonplace protective clothing is used in other locations such as where there are a lot of pedestrians and work is taking place, it is required that all working personnel wear Hi Vis workwear, Liverpool requires it even for workmen are sweeping the streets of shopping areas where traffic is banned.
Its pretty obvious that many jobs need Hi Vis workwear, Liverpool requires its uniformed police officers to wear the equipment at many times during their working week and in particular at night not only to make them visible to traffic but also to make it easier for members of the public to spot them in the dark of the city nights.
Of course not all employees require Hi Vis workwear there are many other needs and situations that specialized workwear be utilized by all kinds of manual and endangered labourers. The most common piece of workwear employees wear is probably the basic hard hat. This simple piece of plastic is possibly the saviour of more workmen’s lives than any other item of workwear Liverpool requires.
There are of course many other items of workwear, such as Hi Res shoulder and waist bands used by many city service personnel who have to work in or near roads. Employee workwear also includes items such as the so called “steel toecap” boots and shoes, used by many trades to protect them against the dangers of heavy objects falling onto their feet and possibly crushing their toes.
Of course the Hi res jackets and regular Workwear Liverpool uses has to not only protect, it has to have a level of comfort, there is little point in wearing steel toecap boots to protect the feet if the wearer is crippled with blisters at the end of the working day. That is why workwear must not only protect the wearer it must also be practical and comfortable, it must also be hard wearing and long lasting.
