Not allowed to use the stairs in the woodside building, unless its in an emergency.

As for hardhat policy, its not that bad, stupid yes, but not that bad. Ive built roads not even on mine sites with nothing but blue sky overhead, yet still have to have a hard hat on. Also, if its open pit, id be slapping on the brim/back flap piece, although not very stylish, keeps that sun off you and makes being burnt not as bad/less likely.

Good luck with the job though.
