I actually have a work issue where blokes who work for our company - have to wear hi-vis in a specific environment 24/7. The problem is - so do 80% of the rest of the workers in this particular environment !! Now there are also a lot of other people moving about the working area who don't have to wear hi-vis......but the problem is simple. There is SO MUCH fucking hi-vis in this environment now - that it has become No-Vis.

Nobody can discriminate between any of the professions in this working environment which is actually starting to lead to the most ridiculous problem you can imagine - wearing hi-vis is now creating a safety issue !!

Its a fuckin joke. So many employers just think " OHS problem ?? No worries, just throw some Hi-Vis on the workers and that will magically fix everything.."

total bullshit in every way.

I wear hi-vis at work ....

Went to a work site, signed in ....

Company Rep. "Do you have a hi-vis vest ?"

Me. "I'm wearing a hi-vis shirt as supplied by my employer."

Company Rep. "Thats not acceptable on our site - you will have to wear our hi-vis vest."

:roll:
I've spent over 40 years of my life riding bikes .... the rest of it, I wasted ..

Yeah but you'll be safe Ron because there is a rule and your complying... :?
Same as the knobs that wear safety hats...when the only thing above them is the moon/sun, and if either of them fall the hat isn't going to help much. :twisted:

Years ago at Flemington Fruit Markets (Sydney), they banned the wearing of Hi Vis for the same reason. It defeated the purpose and was actually a hazard in itself......... These numpties today will never admit to that though.
