      @endo good question. Here’s a partial answer - I’m on a city and county project at the moment. For any projects under state, federal, C&C, & commercial my company is required to be in hi-vis and full gear where safety is a concern. Residential/personal jobs not so much unless stated. We basically need to meet OSHA requirements (Occupational Safety & Health Administration of Labor) or we get fined or worse kicked off the site & blacklisted. Also, it doesn’t look like it for this project, but it’s a very large site that’s expanding atm so lot of various contractors in the surrounding vicinity. Hi-vis helps everyone in the area be aware of one another esp. equipment drivers.

      Edited to add - not every worker on this site wears hi-vis. It’s mostly construction workers or engineers/inspectors, which lets the actual plant workers, state/c&c, osha, etc. employees identify you.

      Others, feel free to chime in if I missed anything.

        We have such shirts for our employees for UV Protection.

        This too, but unfortunately not all hi-vis has a UV rating.

              I remember when Mighty Carmods shared that trick on one of their shows, I thought that was hilarious!

                  Another long and hot day at the shit show. The easiest part of this job is probably the most boring and monotonous, but an absolute a workout since whoever is applying sealant is carrying a +30lbs backpack while it’s super hot, stink & walking an average of 7 miles a day climbing stairs and ladders. Plus we need to stay away from one another esp if it’s windy bc once this product contacts skin it burns like no joke.

                    Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…

                      Very much so, yes. I tend to be in charge with coordination with the various parties onsite and getting my guys access to where they need to be and making sure things keep going in the timeline we have. Definitely more work and problem solving than the actual work involved considering the simplicity of the work we need to complete. Certainly calls for an IH splurge to make life good and well after it’s all said and done 😂

                                Cool sounds like a nice way to live. Must also be nice in the summer though to have a break from processing the wood? Attaches you more to the seasons I guess?

                                  What should have been a simple fall clean up turned into a lawnmower rescue mission from hell. Spent a good hour wrestling with it in the mud but managed to get it out.

                                        @Mizmazzle I haven’t been able to mow a patch for a couple months now because it’s been such a wet year. Welp, I was hell bent in getting it cut before the winter and it sank and sank.

                                        should start my own “working harder not smarter in your workwear” thread
