the government can be very finicky with H&S and you may find that they had to Trial those boots.

I have to wear boots at work admittedly they were Issued to me, but I'm not allowed to wear my own because the Issue boots were trialled and shown to be up to health and safety standards for my line of work.

and If I was to have an accident at work wearing my own boots I will not be covered by the "companies" insurance Policy.

and there are varying levels of foot protective boots

well if you want to go to prison its upto you but Id rather have on my criminal record "80hrs CS" instead of "Banged up"
OHP, im talking about steal toe capped working boots. i can buy a pair of steal toe boots from any shop i like in the united kingdom and work in ANY warehouse with them. its not the fact i dont want to wear stealys, its the fact i dont want tow ear THERE stealys, if it was in th army or something then id get the point, but i dont get the point in wearing boots that god knows how many people have worn. Beilive me i see the people who put them on, fro christ sakes i was working in security and see the scum bag bag heads with gangerine who have to go on things like that.

this si first time ive been envolved with polcie really, well i had a caution but thats years ago, this is first conviction ive had, and to be honest after going to trial and that i cansee why this country is so messed up.


Another point. What if MY boots was the exactly same type as theres!
