As I believe I wrote before, it is probably required by the insurance
company. Just like wearing a life jacket while aboard the crew change
boat although the water is so shallow that you can usually walk ashore.


OTOH, I've seen plenty of incidents with watercraft where wearing a
lifejacket is worthwhile insurance. If it can float a craft, then you
can drown in it and you don't always enter the water in a controlled way.


You missed the part where I said "although the water is so shallow
that you can usually walk ashore"?

As I said (below) the arbitrary "You gotta wear a hard hat", or" you
gotta wear a life jacket" is usually a method of ensuring that
everyone is using safety equipment any time that they come near the
work site and thus no insurance company is going to rule an accident
non insurable because no safety equipment was used.

And, quite often to short circuit any discussion about "I don't need to
wear one over there" the rule is that ALL personal will wear safety
equipment ALL they time they are on the job site. Or words to that
effect.
