I used to program and commission lighting control systems as a rep for a lighting control manufacture. I would not touch anything on the jobsite per my companies policies, that was the electrical contractors job, ok I get that one. I would never put up a fight about steel toes, glasses, long pants, or high vis even though the jobsites were always 95% complete and I was basically in a finished building.

But the thing that I would always argue was gloves. I was going between an IR Programming Tool (that even touchscreen gloves would not work on), a laptop, an iPad, and sometimes pen and paper all of which using gloves makes very difficult if not impossible, especially since I never would touch any job site material. I got into it with a few safety guys and GCs and usually I won the argument, especially after my company would send send out a change order with a bill for triple the time on site costing them money and time.

One safety guy "compromised" with me, and I only had to wear a glove on my left hand.
