Turbans at work

[Beanmistriss]

Not sure if this is the right place but here goes. I was driving past road works the other day and all the workers had hard hats on. There was a man there with a turban on but no hard hat. Are people who wear turbans exempt from wearing hard hats, do they have a special turban shaped hard hat, do they get an extra big one to fit on top? I don't know, do you?

Apparently Sikhs are exempt from wearing crash helmets on motor bikes as a turban is supposed to give as much protection. So I suppose the same applies. The odd thing is that a non-sikh is not allowed to ride a motor bike wearing a turban instead of a helmet.

Perhaps he had his helmet under his turban? ;-)
