    We expect all work-site visitors to wear exactly the same PPE as the workers on the worksite (including the natural fibre clothing worn under arc-rated full body cover as per SM-EI), this is more about consistency and visible safety culture than actual risk (as PPE should be the last line of defense).

    The only deviation from this is if we use additional specialist Temporary Traffic Management contractors who do not enter our working space (TTM is on the periphery only), as their issued PPE often is not arc-rated. Our own TTM workers wear arc-rated PPE the same as the rest of our workers.
