of course you have to wear a hard hat everytime you walk out from the building because of fly rock ect
but if the offices are a Km away then there should be a boundary or something
Are you aware how much of a pain in the ass it is to write rules on safety gear when you try and break it all down into sectors? 'Hardhats must be worn anywhere outside of a 50m radius from all buildings, structures, vehicles..blah blah' it goes on and on. While you might whinge about the fact you have to wear a hard hat when you step out of any structure, you don't walk out and forget to later put it on.

And more to the point, it's a stack hat, not a biosuit or anything even remotely difficult to put on. So why be difficult, it's no worse than plonking a hat on your head. Just put it on and deal with it.
