Bending pipe, pulling wire, etc. on unenergized new construction doesn't require the use of PPE, does it?
It's great advertising!!
Shirts might not be such a hot idea until a secure employer/employee relationship is established.
Imagine sitting down to dinner to see that new hire on TV News being arrested with your name and logo emblazened across his back.
(I started for a company that gave out shirts to 1st day employees. After about a week or so a car pulled up while I was working, and a really irate stranger got out screaming at me about my working fora ripoff company. After about a week more, I realized he was
very right, and I quit.
The Tshirts still saw use though. Near new, they were passed out in Los Angeles on Skid Row to some winos that would advertise the company without shame, but still in a more favorable light than it deserved.)
