Uniforms and Specialist PPE (including Body Armour

Description

Within the Department there are officers who have specialised roles which include covert surveillance, motorbike surveillance, extradition and method of entry (forced entry to property) - all of these require specialist Personal Protective Equipment. As an employer HMRC has a Duty of Care under the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 to provide equipment and personal protection as required to allow officers to carry out their duties. Specialist PPE includes items such as motorcycle leathers, gloves and helmets, limb protectors and public order helmets for method of entry, specialised clothing for covert surveillance officers who spend extended periods in isolated conditions and also protective equipment for officers on extradition duty or road fuel testing. Officers who are part of cross-government operations are expected to have a comparable level of protection as their counterparts. HMRC also has a small element of uniformed officers and standard items of branded clothing are required.
