Anything is possible if you are creative enough. Who needs ISO/OSHA/DIN standards or safety precautions?

I have a love/hate relationship with workplace safety. I love a safe workplace, but many areas have stupid regulations and requirements just for the sake of looking like they're safe or because they don't want the liability of customizing things for certain situations which just makes things harder/uncomfortable for workers.

Saw a work crew the other day with hardhats on. Working outdoors, doing survey type work in an area with absolutely nothing overhead. It was completely unnecessary but required to meet "safety" rules.

That's just one example.
