health and safety

I'm not going to push the argument that H&S has gone mad, but i am beginning to think that they are not all singing from the same Hymn sheet, on my travels from one kind of industry to another the rules change, that i can understand, what i find most annoying is different rules between sites sometimes within the same company.
from farm to mill something happens to the grain that makes it dangerous to my health, all of a sudden i have to wear a hi viz vest, or in some places a long sleeved coat with a hi viz vest, or a long sleeved hi viz coat, not just any hi-viz but  EN471:2003, in some quarry's we have to wear hi-viz trousers that to doesn't bother me, but in some places yellow is not a valid colour they must be orange ?   my feet have to be closed in metal and leather, not just any metal and leather, but conforming to various British standards, my steel toe cap trainer boots are no longer acceptable, nor in some places are dealer boots ? must be above the ankle lace up boots,also some places do not allow jewellery or watches ( perhaps no watches is to stop us finding out how long we are being kept there), some places insist on safety glasses some don't,some insist on dust masks some don't (don't like masks they put my fags out)some insist on hard hats some don't 
please H&S executives get together talk to each other, ill abide by the rules because it may well keep me alive,but don't forget the hymn sheet 


story i was recently told, a group of men were walking across a factory floor one wasn't wearing his hi-viz vest and was pulled up by the foreman,where is your vest he said,well said the worker out of all the men here im the only one you noticed nuff said
