No. PPE supplied to employees must be funded internally by the department. Some PPE may be paid for by the employee, such as footwear and prescription eyewear. A guideline to help determine if the employee may have to pay for such PPE is (a) the PPE is a type that could be worn off the job site, (b) the PPE is not used at work in a manner that renders it unsafe for use off the job site (i.e. contaminated), and (c) the PPE is not designed for special use on the job. See Appendix I for more information.
