      Could be in and out of the machine often at a site/plant that requires it outside and doesn’t bother to take it off?

      The reality is that it’s probably a photoshoot

      “ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure) and FOPS (Falling Object Protective Structure) are safety features integrated into heavy machinery to protect operators.”

      For everyone else unfamiliar with those acronyms!

      You do realize everyone has to wear a hard hat on a construction site by osha safety standards right?

          They are above the rules. Unless you’re on one of the cranes with the security cameras

          Sure it is a redundant protection but as a longtime journey level construction worker I can tell you you still have to wear a hard hat on construction sites anywhere on site

                No offense but we just moved from everyone on a construction site needs one to the construction sites in your area needs one.

                I wouldn’t have disagreed with you if you started with that.

                  I know cal osha requires everyone at all times needs a hard hat on a construction site. I don’t work small private residential cal osha may be more strict on bigger jobs but it is an osha requirement here so I assumed it was a federal osha policy. I know it was definitely covered in my osha 10 and OSHA 30 courses. I was also an instructor for my trade union and this is what is taught in the nationwide union curriculum and yes any heavy equipment we use we have to wear a hard hat while operating nationwide In my trade.

      I can just imagine it now. Me, in my little hard hat, on a big ol excavator, paying no mind to the ROPS/FOPS overhead, completely safe from all the debris that wants nothing more than to crack open my noggin, excavating to my hearts content!

      Oh what a day that would be!
