I have just left a Pindan Construction site. The mine site rules mentality is riduculous. I work on roofs. 'Long pants, long shirts, hardhats and steel cap boots' are the requirements...In the middle of summer. After working on roofs for 30 yrs, the safety rules and paperwork are put in place to dumb you down, like it is everyones first time on a building site. We are there to do a job, not be harrased by over zealous, prison screw like, site supervisors, and threatened with stop work meetings if something minor is accidently over looked. Also the fact that we are not allowed to wear shorts in the 40+ degree middle of summer is cruel. "Skin cancer"..but is is OK to smoke, including the site supervisor, and aquire lung cancer. When I called about ths indiscrepancy, i was hung up on and no message returned. I will never set foot on another Pindan site again.

Edit. OK, SO THAT STILL DOESNT ANSWER MY QUESTION RE SMOKING. LUNG CANCER IS TERMINAL. SKIN CANCER ISNT. WHY IS EVERYONE ALLOWED TO SMOKE ON SITE, BUT NO SHORTS (and on your own rules on the walls in office) BECAUSE OF RISK OF SKIN CANCER?
