Ridiculous rules

[highglyder]

This has been the norm in Ontario for a number of years. Instituted not from within the service but from the Province deciding that emergency services working on the road must follow the same rules as other workers on the road. So vests and helmets at all times.

Hi-vis clothing I get and I wear it 98% of the time. But if helmets are mandated by the province, where are police's? Can you source your statement? Thanks!

Now whenever PD is directing traffic at construction site where I am, they wear helmets. MOL just hasn't traditionally enforced these rules with PD.

Source is just Occupational Health&Safety regs here. The big green book.

A construction site, yes, and I'm aware that road work is considered as such. However, I have yet to find MOL documentation stating that helmets must be worn at MVCs or that such scenes are considered construction sites. I'll delve into it deeper soon. Thanks for the link!
