Hi-viz apparel on a worksite is as much to impress on those there that hazards exist and to be mindful of their activities in that regard. Modern H&S protocols are largely required because of the 'somebody else's fault' mindset that is so prevalent in people today. Hi-viz protects people from their own stupidity because that stupidity is a risk to them, their workmates and their employer. Failure to comply can cost money and lives.
There is no limit to the unpredictability and mindless actions of so many in today's world because to a large extent we have been taught that every accident is avoidable and blame is attributable to the weakest link in the worksite chain of command. In other words it is always 'someone else's fault'.
When Winston decides to randomly wander off to take a closer look at whatever project detail takes his unpredictable attentions wearing hi-viz will serve to alert others to the risks he may be taking in an area that he isn't expected to be in. An impetuous old fart such as him is just who should be made as visible as possible for his own protection but he is too self centred and irresponsible to comply with the protocol as the video shows.
