DPS should weed a lot of them out unless they're being told to look the other way.D.Tibbitt, JonJon78, 650cat425 and 1 other person Thank this. -
I just carry two sets of coveralls to deal with the long sleeve/pant issue during summer. Always steel toed boots though, even with shorts.
What gets me is some facilities I've come across wanted a specific color hard hat. I've an orange one, told me I couldn't wear it in as visitors were to wear white. They claimed they "disinfected" them. I told them unless I watch them take it out of a sealed plastic bag, they were going to have to deal with my orange one. Turned into a real pee-pee contest. I told my boss what was going on and he actually ended up pulling me out of there. He thought it was asinine as well.born&raisedintheusa, sirhwy, D.Tibbitt and 2 others Thank this. -
So you're saying carry a hot pink hard hat and low-viz vest at all times. Gotcha.
JonJon78 Thanks this. -
I drive reefer and with the exception of a hard hat, I've carried the rest with me from day one, to include full rain gear and rubber boots.
BTW, did you know hard hats expire? I used to work at a place and I would sometimes have to put on a hard hat if I had to go to certain areas. Not often, but occasionally. I had a hard hat for years and then one day our safety guy takes a look at it, laughs and tells me it expired over 5 years ago (I worked at that place for 23 years).
Anyway, inside the brim is a little round sticker looking thing. I forget how to decode it, but it let's you know the date the hard hat expires.Speed_Drums, D.Tibbitt and JonJon78 Thank this. -
No I didn't know they expire. I will have to check mine out this weekend and see what I can come up with for the expiration date.
Learn something every day. Thank you.D.Tibbitt Thanks this. -
