All workers on site wear regulated safety equipment at all times, including high visibility vests, eye protection, gloves, CSA approved steel toe boots, long sleeves and pants.	And Still More Rebar	At top of photo, a riparian repair of old logging damage is visible. The upgraded, historic forestry road parallels the transmission line right-of-way which was cleared less than two years ago. The ROW is greening up well.
