Much the same reason that any normal person thinks its funny that a chainsaw comes with a warning not to operate while naked, but the chainsaw company has to protect themselves from the idiots that do try it, and then chop thier dick off, and then sue. As has been said if they start setting areas for hard hat and areas for no hard hat it can get confusing for some, not able to keep track of when it can be off and when it has to be on. Its just easier to say right just wear it everywhere, better to be too safe than not safe enough.

Quoted for the truth. It is human nature, but if they 'make an example' by sacking someone, regardless if people think its a stupid rule, people will change their ways as they will click remembering how 'jonny' got fucked up for that stupid hardhat rule, so I better wear it. I know exactly what your saying tho. But after 10yrs in mining, I gotta say it works. Altho, 10yrs ago we would sink piss every night, goto bed at 2am only to get back up at 5am and goto work hungover as fuck........we never had the amount of incidents that we do now with 10mil rules and procedures. And with all these new projects starting again....the muppets are only gonna get worse

Most sites i have worked on require you to wear hard hat at all times apart from in offices toilets etc...

As I said, and as Kato etc have mentioned, they are just taking away the human involvement in being safe. If you have all the percautions in place, then people will stop thinking about safety, and, low and behold, another accident will happen, then what? People aren't allowed on site, only plant, and remote controlled equipment?
BHP is the worst for it.. but I guess they see it as 'you can never be too safe' We have alot of issues complying to their safety standards, and I work for one of the largest engineering consultancy firms in the country, with a HUGE focus on safety etc.. and we are miles off BHP's standards. I see it as, 'there is such a thing as being too safe' because now, people aren't thinking about their actions, they just assume, hey i have gloves, goggles and a hat on, i must be safe... |

the question is, if its an open pit mine how close are the offices to the pit
ive been to some sites where the offices are sitting 50m away from the pit wall and yes 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 all i know underground is the way to go haha

In a few years time just to take a shit you'll need a confined space permit, hazardous gas test, gloves, hard hat and probably a breathing aparatus!

Denver come work in commercial construction wher you wear a hard hat INSIDE the building with 10 floors of concrete above you. It is one size fits all - and seriously from a managment point of view if you came to me with a milion arguments of why you don't need to wear a hard hat between the mess and shitter I would tell you that 's the rules buddy like it or don't there are a million other guys looking for work.
What may seem stupid on the face of it normally has some merit. Put it in a different aspect, what would you be saying if some muppett was working on the roof of the mess and didn't set up an exclusion zone and you walked out without the helmet on as he dropped a crescent on your head? It might not be a rule to protect you from yourself it is more to protect you from someone else's stupidity.

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.

Unlucky, we used to have a thing called 'Powerball'. Was a bucket of pingpong balls that you could not see into and you drew out white balls for nothing, orange ball for drug/alco. Hurtenstien will know what im talking about......its good fun considering its a pretty invasive proceedure. Everyone would sit there going "wwwooooooooooooo...... *point @ victim* AHHAHAHAHA DRUGTEST!"

I would still wear one even if i was standing 100m from a drill rig in the middle of bum-fuck-nowhere. Anything could happen and its better to be safe than sorry, and also retain your job...
