The other day one of the plumbers said that osha regulations require covered legs at construction sites (because of loose wireing and such) or I (or I guess the company, not sure on that point) could get a fine. I know I have seen people working in shorts and this is the first I have heard of this covered leg thing outside of a remodel we did for a local potato chip maker which I was told the regulations had to do with the food production, not the construction.

I believe in Canada or at least in Ontario pants are to be worn on construction sites. In theatres during set-up the stage is now considered a construction site so hard hats, harness and long pants are a requirement. However if a woman was to work on the site wearing a skirt she can not be turned away. Given that, a few guys have been wearing kilts.
