Which inspector most represents your attire on an inspection?

[gcavallo]

Flame retardant because the 5.11 uniforms are marketed toward the Life Safety Professionals - Police, Firefighters, Flame Jumpers and EMT etc (service panel flash). The complete setup is professional in appearance and well made; I believe that we should utilize all the safety features that are available to us because we don't know when we will find ourselves in harms way. Factoid: wearing shorts is okay for the UPS delivery crew but not for the professional carrying the ladder through the flower bed near the rose bushes or inspecting the crawlspace. I never wear shorts when inspecting a toilet, mold contaminated base cabinets because I do not like the funky germs on my skin. Call me wimpy but I don't want trans dermal yuck ruining my paycheck opportunities.

Those guy's are walk around data collectors, ie report type of flooring, type of sink etc and will not get in there and look for problems.

This is a hot dirty job period (if done right).

I can't imagine inspecting even the exterior in suit coat. Yesterday I was sweating just standing still.

Always dress for safety when on an assignment - not for the fashion police. OOPS, can't say always as in the posed mold inspection photo. The South Lake Tahoe chalet was covered with "apparent mold" growth in January. The Inspector lacks safety glasses, mask, gloves and booties. The Booties were eaten by the Fungi by the time the Inspector reached the stairwell.

Why not? I dress according to my mood and clientele Marcel.

Well, you sure have a lot of moods available.

I suppose it all boils down to where are you inspecting and who you are inspecting for. I'm still having trouble picturing a pair of cargo pants with stuffed pockets looking somehow more professional than a nice new pair of jeans. I guess it could be a regional thing though. I used to have a bunch of yankee friends in PA who really looked down on jeans unless you was doing yard work or camping. I grew up thinking (mistakenly btw), as did a lot of folks in my neighborhood, that folks wearing Dickies or similar didn't make enough money to wear real pants (jeans). Times have changed though...

Down here in Mississippi, if you anit wearing Red Head (Bass Pro Shop) or Carhartt you just don't fit in.

Good durable clothes at a fair price and easy to obtain.

The problem with shorts is crawling through attics and slipping in and out of bushes and tall grasses.

However I generally wear cargo shorts anyway. So #3 for me but #5 in cool or cold weather.
