I have worked 21 years at same shipyard and they will not buy me prescription safety glasses.
They also do not buy safety boots buy require employees wear them.
On top of this we are a government contractor who you think would follow the law.

They still have to pay you a lot of money if you do get injured. Might be cheaper to just buy you the glasses no?
