The Liberal government is looking to cut almost $1 billion from the annual budget of the Department of National Defence — a demand the country’s top military commander says is prompting some “difficult” conversations within the military.

Many workplaces provide essential safety gear like cheap ear plugs, safety glasses and reflective work wear, some even provide a yearly boot payout. A lot of these jobs do tend to be government or bigger industrial gigs.

If you require specific safety gear, you should ask your employer if they are willing to supply it.
