We at ASEO Europe have been asked the following questions plenty of times: “Why should we consider issuing our enforcement officers or frontline operatives with stab vests or knife resistant clothing?” There are of course numerous of ‘common sense’ and commercial reasons. Here are the main arguments in favour of the use of personal protective equipment in the form of stab proof vests:
- There is always an unknown level of risk due to unforeseen circumstances - regardless of the outcome of any common risk assessment.
- Section 2 (1) of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 says: "It shall be the duty of every employer to ensure, so far as reasonably practicable, the health, safety and welfare at work of all his employees.”
- The cost of facing potential legal action after a fatal or non-fatal incident would outweigh the one-off cost of stab vests.
- The cost of injured employees taking time off would outweigh the one-off cost of stab vests.
- The operational problems (replacing operational staff) you might have to face if employees can not work due to assaults or similar incidents.
- The negative publicity incidents involving employees ‘not wearing personal protective equipment’ or stab vests could create.
- Dealing with intoxicated individuals means dealing with individuals who might overreact to anything your staff might say or do.
There are many more arguments in favour of the use of stab vests and Spectra lined slash resistant clothing. We genuinely believe in every frontline operative’s and enforcement officer’s right to be safe whilst on duty. Stab vests, stab proof vests and other types of personal protective equipment are designed to increase the chance of staying safe. Many employers find themselves caught between the decision to issue protective equipment and the financial implications making such a decision may have.
