The door is open on the grader,
Not a safety issue, very common thing when the air con does not work, plus aides visibility.. You cannot fall out as you have a seatbelt which must be worn...

The guy doing the Reo in runners (maybe steel caps?),
Looked to be holding a note pad...probably checking something, not actually working..

The guy using a screwdriver to remove nails
careful inspection showed it was one of those with the shaft that goes right through the head, designed for hitting..

The guy wearing shorts and a 'T' shirt while welding,
he is a real man.... :D He would not have just the generic man card, his man card would be pink...
You can go overboard on the safety and rules get ignored at other times.... For example when you see politicians running around plants and construction sites... Do you see them wearing steel capped boots? They put on the hard hat and safety glasses, do not see them wearing steel caps though, and often without hi-vis clothing as well..
At a local plant the OHS officer was writing up the office staff because they were not wearing their safety glasses when walking from the office to the toilet... About the worst that could have happened is a bird could crap in their eye...
As I say, there is safety and their is safety.... Everyone is so scared these days because the cost of frivolous litigation is so high so everything is way overboard...
