Just came across this while looking for something else:

Looks as if wearing hard hats on construction sites is mandatory, according to HSE?

The wearing of hard hats on construction sites has been mandatory since the Construction (Head Protection) Regulations 1989 came into force.

Im not sure that is strictly true. I thought it was the case that if there was a risk of head injury then it was mandatory they must be worn.

HSE website guidance also concurs with the above.

Happy to be proved wrong though.

I got it FireSafety101 but i know anyway, the Construction (Head Protection) Regulations 1989 has been repealed, back 1012 i think.

No, you are correct with the caveat which I did not feel inclined to add for brevity...Sikhs are also absolved before anyone mentions that.
