[QUOTE="mort2376, post: 545284, member: 25787"] I think alot does have to do with the interpretation of the rules. Blanket rules are not blanket rules, but for ease are used as such. I had the DNO putting a new supply in. One team comes and digs the holes. Jointing team comes to to the joints. They have hiviz as working by a road, but a manger drove by and they got an angry phone call for not wearing hard hats. There was nothing overhead, their heads were above the level of the hole at all times. Why is that a h&s need ? Perhaps it was incase it went bang and the explosion threw them out of the hole but then none of them had strapped on hard hats so that wouldn't have worked !!!!! [/QUOTE]
