Design
-
Subsection 34-25(2) of the Act states that 'design of a uniform includes features such as its colouring, construction, durability, ornamentation, pattern and shape'.
-
Where an organisation operates over a wide climatic area, it may be necessary for the design of the occupational clothing to take into account the climate for which it is intended. For example an employer who has operations in both southern Tasmania and far north Queensland may wish to submit 4 designs - 1 winter and 1 summer design for each climatic region.
-
A design may also be used as a means of distinguishing between various staffing groups within an organisation eg. a set of clothing items used by office staff may differ from the set used by field staff. In these cases, the factors listed in these Guidelines should be considered in the context of the collection which applies to each separate staffing group within the organisation and entered separately on the Register. For example, the collection to be worn by the office staff should be considered separately to that worn by technicians in the field.
