[POINT]Point

People at work should wear uniforms when the job requires safety, clear identification or a professional image.

A uniform can help customers recognise staff and can also support team identity.

[EXAMPLE]Example

In hospitals, factories or hotels, standard clothing may improve hygiene, safety or service.

Losing an ordinary pen is minor, but losing a family ring can make someone feel sick with worry.
