Tradespeople generally receive PPE from their employer, safety procurement people will be the ones making the purchasing decision about something like this. I wouldn’t do business with a contractor that doesn’t provide PPE to their employees. A skilled tradesperson costs about $100/hr in my area, $200 isn’t a lot of money when it comes to safety. Fall harnesses are hundreds of dollars, arc flash suits are thousands of dollars. It is about 10x the cost of a regular hard hat, but lower insurance premiums could make up the $180 difference over time.
