Most large building sites have H&S regs strictly enforced - even for
visitors. Steel capped safety foot ware, hard hats, goggles, gloves, high
visibility jackets, arms and legs clothed etc. And rightly so.
On say a Sunday or holiday with no workmen on site or any work being
carried out do these regs still apply?

Yes.
Even with no workmen around you could, for example, still step onto upwards
pointing sharp objects, so protective footwear is necessary. Must be lots
of other examples.

(Instructions to wear hearing protection apply when posted, and not just
when loud sounds are present. These and other notices are the result of
formal and recorded Risk Assessments.)
