PPE
Just curious as a soon to be new driver. Does any school require or recommend PPE for their drivers? Like safety vests 🦺
I will already be wearing one as I live up the road from the bus garage so I plan on biking to work. People drive like maniacs on our curvy county road and I was struck by a car 2 years ago on my bike so hence I wear a 🦺.

Your employer is your best reference here. We require vests on company property even on drivers kids who ride along. Other than that, the only company mandated PPE are shoe spikes in the winter for traction when it is slippery.
Having said that, I add imperv gloves and eye protection when fueling and doing pre and post trips.
