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

          If you are talking globally then using a country specific name for it seems confusing

            But just because you are talking on a global forum doesn’t mean you can’t talk about your personal experience

                What do you mean? We’re just describing what we see in the picture and how it compares to our lived experience.

                Does your country have an osha or can people go to construction sites without hardhats, or do you have a regulating body but hardhats aren’t required / the rules aren’t enforced?

                Saying OSHA is like saying Kleenex to us, we don’t even realize it is a brand name. It has become the generic term in our en_us language anyway.

        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.
