I’ve got a commercial job starting next week and I’m dreading it, I’ve been doing bits here and there in my shorts for a month now. I can’t see the sense when the wether is a hot as it is not to allow shorts for a short duration. Health and safety gone mad.

What exactly is the problem with shorts?
Not sure but it discriminates against midgets as they can't wear long trousers.

When you turn up on site in shorts just "identify" yourself as a midget
they can't do anything about it due to the rules and regulations regarding discrimination, always use the rules to your advantage.
 
I worked with a bloke that demanded the company supply suncream as it was PPE.
Bloody got away with it too.

When I was rigging antennas years ago we always got sun cream as PPE in the summer as well as bottled water and cordial all written into the risk assessment
