It may seem over-the-top, but it makes sense if you stop with the left-wing, everyone-hates-unions faux outrage and actually think about it. Those hard hats aren't usually painted black or other hard-to-see colours. They're usually white, orange or yellow so that the wearer is as visible on worksites as possible, just like wearing safety vests. When you start putting stickers all over the hats, they become less visible, placing the wearer in more danger. So this order is entirely justifiable.

Its about being in a union and nothing else ,BECHTEL tried this on with us in 2010 but soon backed down

Sorry, no. Got nothing to do with Freedom of Association. No one is making workers end their Union membership. They're just being told to remove the stickers for safety reasons. I reckon this hat below has maybe four or five percent left that isn't covered by a sticker. Not much red left to be seen, is there???

Some of the insurers won't risk the glue used on the stickers affecting the plastic in the hat. Removing the stickers doesn't sound that onerous to comply with what seems to be quite reasonable.

All of ours have reflective tape on them and the clients logo, all stickers , is their glue different to union glue ?

Reflective tape is one thing, other stickers that have zero to do with improving the visibility of the hard hat wearer shouldn't even be on the hat.

Like induction stickers and first aid stickers ?

That's the point. Nobody knows. Take away the risk. That's what insurers do.

I can count 3 on that helmet that are company issued Cheesy

It's not like you need to protect anything valuable in your head. May as well wrap it in toilet paper.

I know I should laugh...but that is funny..

to each his own.. all I kn ow is when driving behind a car with a lot of stickers on the back I tend to read the stickers instead of watching the road..

its the same with notices alongside the road..lucky us in ACT they are mostly illegal...but isnt the idea when driving/ working in a hard hat area you keep your eye on the road/work place rather than read stickers???

I find it a bit immature to be honest...let them put their stickers on their lunch boxs.... Roll Eyes

I see the vandals have been getting at Zed Seselja's signs in the ACT with red circles and a cross on them.

I was actually thinking of going for a walk and ripping them up myself but the rain deterred me! Grin

I was under the impression they were not allowed in ACT.. and so far I havent seen any thank god..

I do hope you dont stoop to that level.. but then you thought about it... soooooI can only guess you would...
