I think it's a step in the right direction. I'm sure their insurance company had something to do with it or offered them some sort of discount.

It only takes someone to lead the way, then others will follow.

I think it's great!!!!! It's about time...

It's their right... Nothing anyone can do...

 

[ComeBackMudPuddles]

Lead by example. Good stuff.

Life is full of choices...let people make them on their own.

What's the matter with you guys? There's a thread on epic with over 200 posts heatedly discussing this topic. Some feel as if their personal rights are on the verge of being taken away based on this! Could Alpine Zone actually be mostly reasonable people who see no point in arguing such an "important" societal change?

Nope! Been argued to death already.

Why??? Shouldn't their employees be safe?

Would wearing a helmet save you while driving to some graveyard to deliver a stone? Should they also wear spine guards?

Where will it end!?!?!?!

whats the difference between this and Iron workers being required to wear a hard hat?

Sieg Heil, Mein Fuhrer!! Alles Klare mein obermeister.

This is not about safety, it is about image. If it was safety, AIG/Stowe would have required this years ago. Personally I think it is a good idea either way.
