Protective Attire:
It is recommended employees wear gloves to protect a worker's hands
from splinters and other sharp objects. Gloves are typically rated from
one to five, with five being the heaviest. Construction sites recommend
workers wear gloves that are rated around two or three. Work boots are
another necessity on construction sites. Construction sites typically
require either hard-soled or steel-toed shoes or boots. These protect feet
from injuries caused by stepping on sharp objects such as nails. On
specific jobsites employees may be required to wear Fire Resistant
(FR) clothing.

Other Rules:
When workers or visitors are, near or using loud machinery, ear plugs
will be worn to protect the ears from damage. If workers have long hair
it should be tied back to avoid it getting stuck in machinery, and no
jewelry should be worn on job sites

vaping on all company premises in order to provide and maintain a safe
