SUBJECT: Safety Equipment Request
Things are getting pretty busy with maintenance; we seem to be doing a lot of
120hr services every few days. Which brings me to my request if possible?
Would the City be able to send me a dozen hard hats? We have to wear head
gear when ever we drive something or when we use the crane to take blades
off the aircraft. We've been using our Kevlar's but they or very expensive if lost
and are not ideal for what we are doing. The Army supply is not much help in
this matter.
Any color would be fine. We are on an airfield and we wear refiective belts all
day and night. There is nothing taetica{ here. If they even had city logos that
actually would be better because they would be marked and we are the only
unit here from MN. so that way if they were to start growing legs we would be
able to identify them to the fact that they belong to us. If it all works out on your
end here is my address to ship them to when and if it works out.
Thanks
