Protective vests manditory for security officers
Make safety vests and PPE mandatory for all security officers
Why is this important?
It's time that the safety of those of us that are protecting others is thought about. I have seen, heard and experienced situations where weapons are being used against us and I feel our employers should have to provide stab vests and PPE to protect us.
If our employers provided stab vest, it acts primarily as a deterrent to people using bladed and needle attacks against us but it also means we are better able to deal with situations safely with less risk to ourselves and others.
