It is the employees responsibility to take care of it and use it when necessary. Some units provide a clothing allowance instead.
Having said that, we've been out site prospecting last week in the snow. I suppose I could have refused to go until my employer bought me some warm socks and gloves, but since I had my own already I didn't think to make an issue of it, since I already had a decent coat and boots from them.
