I agree we have too many clipboad wielding maniacs.
I nearly got thrown off a building site in January for not wearing PPE in the main contractor's portakabin, where my meeting was being held. The car park had a fenced off walkway, a good 100 yards from the nearest bit of plant and further from the storage compound/foundation, which led to the array of portakabins, which themselves were compounded by a fence.
Nevertheless, rules are rules, apparently. What if I had tripped up on the muddy ground without my high vis? What would become of me then?
Edit: I should clarify to the uninitiated (or should I say in-inducted) that PPE is not a requirement in the cabins themselves, however, the foreman was convinced that I needed it to travel from the car park to the aforementioned cabins.
