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.
You were saying “I hope you realize that OSHA requires it” or whatever and that’s kinda hostile and weird since you don’t even know if they are American/have OSHA so what relevance does your stuff have to them
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
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.
You do realize everyone has to wear a hard hat on a construction site by osha safety standards right?
I’m googling OSHA and it seems to be some American thing, not a global rule?
Don’t other countries have their own Oshas just called Something else?
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
You were talking to someone else though, not just saying how it is for you

My tenuous guess, Scandi/Germanic… But that’s just her in the cab.
I don’t know the machinery well enough to hazard a guess.
But even if still there, then yeah, there’d for sure be safety regs insisting on hard hats all the time on site.
The crane operators I work with defintely dont.
They are above the rules. Unless you’re on one of the cranes with the security cameras
No theyre just supposed to.
That’s what the FOPS is for.
I, for one, for sure, would be grateful for the hard hat in a ROPS event. Even a FOPS event.
You’d need a chin strap for the hat to stay on if you’re upside down.
True.
Especially when wearing one that’s too big and loose.
FOPS isn’t going to help if one of those violent criminals tomahawk-throws a framing hammer at your head!

As a long time equipment operator who puts their hard hat on only outside of the equipment, okay.
I know in my area this hard hat rule is strictly enforced.
Do we have Americans (no rules) vs Canadians (actual safety) going on in this discussion?
Sometimes Canada goes overboard. In Ontario you need to wear a hard hat to plant trees.
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’ve never worked a small private residential construction job in my life.
You still wear your cup throughout the whole shift though right?
