I assume this is a non US meme due to the spelling of color.
Seems to be a lot of memes these days with spelling errors.

Look at the level of education these days and that should answer your statement…How’s the burro doing?
That is the English spelling. Dan Quayle was right back in the day when he corrected the elementary school kid on the spelling of potato (potatoe). He was too stupid to know why he was right and to point that out to the laughing media. The truth of it is that Merriam Webster went out of his way in the 1830’s to Americanize the English language by changing the spelling of these and other words. Quayle knew at some level that spelling potatoe with the e was more high class, being the English way of course, he just did not know about the backstory.
Potato is correct, Potatoes is also correct. Same thing with tomato/tomatoes. Look it up in a dictionary.
I figured it meant Jesus was born in a white helmet.
Hey, maybe that wasn’t really a halo…
Orange is for foresters so retards don’t shoot thinking they’re sasquatch. Only used in high winds or active timber harvests.
Yeah, they left out orange!
“Pink” for those fags that need to tell you how to do your fucking job all day long.
(WARNING: Do not engage!!!!!!! Follow this individual to the nearest PortaPot and screw the door shut with them inside. SAFETY FIRST!)
Or back a truck against the door, or lift the porta johno with a fork lift, or hit both side vents with fire extinguishers…
Or lift it with a crane and swing it out over the job site.
Or drop a lit M1000 down the vent hole. Run away REAL FAST!
I kinda liked the Candid Camera version with fork lift forks under it and bushes to hide the forklift with the camera rolling.
Orange we use for sparkies in high voltage areas. We use green for green-horns who are new and stupid.
White is operations and yellow is visitors.
People who actually work in hard hat areas choose whatever color they want. Mine is currently Matte Gray. Have had white, brown, light gray and blue at various times over the last 33 years.
Same.
White is for management, except during contract negotiations, and then you leave your white hardhat at home and wear the grey one with the American flag on the side.. Otherwise you’ll end up with something heavy dropped on you by accident, or course…
Depends on the contractor colors. You work for Cessco, it’s yellow, PCL- green, Ed Ex – it was blue, etc. Welders used to have backwards hats(with proper harness) for the shield to fit, (heavy buggers) and ironworkers too for their grinding shields. So I guess it depends.
I know a place that issues pink to visitors who show up without the proper safety gear. Met our service manager there once and did not see fit to tell him about this little quirk, knowing full well he never carried a hardhat when traveling by air. Then shared pics of him thusly adorned with everybody in the company. He was not nearly as amused as everyone else. C’est la Guerre.
I would like see a picture of that.
give me a brown fiber full brim all round bridge hat with old style non-ratchet liner. lightest hat you can get. have fused vertebra/ with plate, now. I’m retired.
In coal mining, red hats are inexperienced miners. White hats are engineers/management/visitors. Black hats are experienced miners.
Is “Mangers” code for a manager with lice?
