In the US, its not necessarily required. I can tell you for a fact that the 17,000 seat arena i frequently work at in the center of the USA does NOT have hard hats as a requirement. As far as that goes, not ONE venue we work at has hard hats as a requirement. And these are IATSE contract venues. We require riggers to be in harness and have safeties. But no hard hats. If the shows come in with them, thats fine. But then we work along side of them with nothing on our heads. bob
