Default Your PPE?

Just thinking/posting of PPE I thought I'd ask around what you guys wear? This isn't a rag bs(WorkCover/Safe) post I'm just curious to see what gets supplied and what you supply.

So if you are the Employer tell us what PPE you provide and what your policies are(Regarding PPE). If you're an employee tell us what gets supplied to and what policies you have to follow.

My PPE that is supplied is:
Stihl Hard hat
Hard hat mounted ear muffs (35Db block)
Stihl Safety Glasses Anti-Fog The upgrade to Anti-Fogs was well worth it. I used to have to dump the safety's all the time due to them fogging up, but with these blokes they havn't fogged once.
Riggers leather gloves
Hi Vis shirt or A - One uniform
Steel Caps
Backbraces
Soon to come chainsaw pants.

The policies that are in place regarding PPE is basically wear the PPE or go home (literally). I'm currently in the process of documenting my procedures and polices.
