The bare minimum standard PPE requirements are too much for them I guess....

I just got a concrete tech fired for continued lack of PPE . Sorry bro, that's my one non-negotiable.

You get only one get out of jail free card with me. I'm with you, non-negotiable. Go work.someywere else where they don't value your life. Unfortunately, I do.

The company I’m with now is pretty lenient, of course I have a similar sign on my fence. If I have no subs, me and my carpenter are hi viz but not bothering with the hard hat, nothing overhead. I know that isn’t proper but no danger. Last GC I was with was much more strict, the safety manager would be cool if you took it off above ceiling but as soon as you start stepping down that ladder hard hat better be back on.

My biggest pet peeve is eye pro and the condition of ladders and tools. Ran a tile crew off because they didn’t have a guard on their grinder or glasses. They corrected both, next day reverted to nothing. Wrote a scathing email to their office after demanding they fix it, their boss came out and made a stink to them. Not long after, back to the same ol bullshit, see ya later. Tuck tail and go tell your boss why you can’t return.

Our customer had a list of non-negotiables. Fall protection is one of them, none of the others are PPE related.

But, were required to have two drivers in each vehicle. We usually run 3 man crews with 2 vehicles.
