Ah, my old favourite: safety.
Having seen the state that a lot of construction site workers get into every summer, this is understandable because it is easier to enforce covering up than sun screen.
Don't joke: I worked on a purely archaeological site in the dim and distant past where an attempt was made to sue us by someone who fell down a shallow but un-fenced hole. At least fencing should keep you safe from that.

A tremor in the Force. The last time I felt it was in the presence of Tony Robinson.
