To take up Dinosaur's points....I think there is a misunderstanding of the rules regarding PPE. If employers were to take as the bottom line that every individual (irrespective of gender) requires PPE that fits and is fit for purpose then the problem is solved.... unfortunately there are far too many that claim 'I never realised it was a problem' and 'nobody has ever complained' as a get out from actually ensuring that the rules on PPE are folowed. It shouldn't be a case of women having to complain, it should be a case of everyone complaining to make sure the law is complied with. It shouldn't be a case of employers making a special case for women because they want PPE that fits, but for every worker irrespective of gender.
It may be that BAJR has raised and solved an issue here....but I suspect that some people out there sill aren't listening and will continue to claim that it isn't a problem....
