This is clearly a case of "local" regualtions imposed by Network Rail. If their policy on workers without a track safety certificate being identifed by the wearing of a blue safety hat is well documented and communicated to contractors, then the labourers should have complied. Obviously the colour of the hard hat doesnt indicate its level of effectiveness, different styles of hard hat which comply with the relevant regulation are available in different colours. In this case the colour coding is stipulated by Network Rails' own rules and the health & safety issue surrounding the colour coding is down to workers' competence whilst working on the tracks.

13 correct on first choice, 7 correct on second choice. Not bad tho most i hadnt seen before (regularly used signs!!??) and i had to use common sense to figure them out. i'm sure that if i saw them in situ they'd be clearer to understand e.g. "low shelves".
