    MOD NOTE: This thread is going too far off topic. I will consider issuing warnings if there are any further attempts to drag away.

    Normally comes down to risk and money. We work almost exclusively on big pharma and commercial projects. 5 piece PPE at all times, hard hat, boots, glasses, gloves, hi-viz. also short sleeves and short pants are banned.
    Simply put - the risk of a cut to your leg or arm is much reduced by covering up.
    If you get cut and need treatment on a site like this and end up as an MTI (medical treatment) or an LTI (lost time injury) your overall safety score may drop below the site acceptable limit.
    If That happens you're finished and your company will no longer be invited to tender for projects.
    Everybody in the whole company can then wear shorts while collecting the dole when company shuts down.
    Bit of discomfort far outweighs the greater risk.
    Try wearing full fire retardant coveralls on top of your clothes on oil and gas projects...

    I wasn’t waffling. The new snickers are probably as close to hacksaw proof as you’re going to find on a site. I’m So sorry that boggled your mind.

    But they are not hacksaw proof. What boggled my mind was your inability to determine if something is hacksaw proof or not.

    No trousers is hacksaw proof. I was merely giving the nearest available option. Your mind easily boggles

    I used to wear the light snickers in the summer but the fabric would rip too easily. I gave up on them
