So by that reckoning, next time I am in my workshop and put on ear
defenders to protect my hearing, that is ludicrous?

It is ludicrous for your boss to force you to wear them. It is
ludicrous for him to get into trouble for not forcing you to wear them.

It should be up to you to wear them if you wish, it's YOUR hearing.

If you sign a disclaimer giving up the right to litigate in the event of
hearing loss, then perhaps.

And if someone else does something that you consider dangerous to
yourself, you are free to resign.

Or knee then robustly in the groin and suggest they don't do it again
should they [ever] harbour a desire to propagate their genes.

Are you a caveman?

are you suggest I should club them over the head as well?
