Mark’s 25% off coupon
Wearing the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is the best way to help protect you from hazards that may harm you and that you’re protecting yourself. We want to help make sure you’re safe every day. We’ve worked with Mark’s to offer all airport employees a 25% off coupon for regularly priced merchandise to ensure you have the right PPE to work safely.
The Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) directive comes into effect on December 1. It states that safety vests and CSA approved footwear are required to be worn at all times when working airside. Airside includes all baggage laterals, make-up, and baggage road areas; all terminal, hangar, cargo, maintenance, deicing, and general aviation aprons; all vehicle corridors, including taxiways, runways, and adjacent areas.
