This is crazy to me. If you don't have a hard hat and safety boots (steel toe and shank) there's no point of showing up. Our Ministry of Labour will sit in their vehicles and take photos of guys not wearing proper ppe or doing something stupid and will bring the evidence with them when they come with their ticket book. They also don't just ticket the person that was not complying, this person will get the smallest ticket, the site super gets the next ticket, the guys company gets the next ticket and the site company gets the final ticket, with tickets ranging from $100 up to $25,000.
Seems a little too obsessive for me with the fines. I have been on state and federal funded Union projects in NYC where they require OSHA certification, hard hat, steel toe & vest but they also had cranes flying stuff overhead outside but even when we were inside they required us to still wear it because they had a safety inspector on site. If you were caught the first time without it you were warned and the second time you were sent home.
I have never done a regular residential in NY or NJ that REQUIRED it.
