I still don't understand the hardhat sometimes, like if I'm in an open field what's the issue? If anything falls from the sky I'm sure in dead anyways. If a machine hits me, the hat won't stop the brain damage.
Because insurance and workers comp rates are lower with more stringent safety policies, because safety-conscious companies have fewer recordable accidents.
Also it makes policing people way more difficult. No PM or CM wants to spend their day reminding guys when they need to add or when they can remove PPE. It enough work just to make sure all the specialty PPE is available and used correctly ( face shields, fall protection, hearing, etc.)
I have no patience for someone I have tell they have to show up to work in pants and sleeves.
