<p>[QUOTE="Nate21, post: 12185573, member: 321866"]To make a long story short, I been at my company for 3 months and I been going to this reciever frequently to deliver steel coils. During this time I would wear the ppe they wanted me to wear. Hard hat <i>with Bill facing forward,</i> long sleeves, Kevlar sleeves on <i>the outside of the long sleeve shirt you are already wearing</i>, steel toes, pants, etc. There's a lot. </p><p><br /></p><p>Well just the other day the safety guy came up to me with an attitude demanding I wear ear plugs. I showed him the paper and said they are not required because it's not on the paper. He started throwing a fit about it and I guess now they have an updated ppe sheet with even more ppe to wear. I'm all for safety, don't get me wrong but some of this stuff is just ridiculous. You can whisper to each other in that building. My truck is louder than everything in there. </p><p><br /></p><p>I guess I didn't really make a long story short after all lol.
