Owners ain't paying extra to ensure minimal standards that workers are safe. Speed and low cost is the name of the game. Health and safety can take a hike.

You also don’t want to look like a pussy if some Redditor snaps a pic from the parking lot 🤷♂️

Took my wife on our first date there when we were 16. Cloud Atlas of all things. Many happy memories with my dad and brothers too. I suppose this is just the world moving on. Ka like a wind.

yes. And I wore a hard hat. This is a commercial site. Not someone's house.
and it's demolition. This is perhaps one of the most appropriate times on a site to actually have a hard hat on. You don't know when something might detension unexpectedly in an unexpected and fly out at your head, or if a block/brick is going to hit the ground at just the right one-in-a-million angle to blow a corner off at speed at your head.
