Provision

The Town Council will provide uniform for the Amenities Team staff and Cemetery Keepers. It is compulsory for staff to wear uniform at all times, to be easily identifiable to customers as employees of the Town Council. For Health and Safety reasons, it is mandatory for staff to wear a Hi-Vis jacket (or waistcoat if a jacket is not being worn) when working outdoors at all times. All staff must be aware that failure to wear the appropriate clothing will result in disciplinary action.
