Apparently that's something else that's changed on some company field trips. One of my oil company clients lamented to me about a company field trip to the western US where only one person in the group was allowed to carry a rock hammer. If someone wanted a sample, they had to have a safety meeting and discuss possible alternatives to using the hammer to get a sample. Then the designated risk-taker would approach the exposure while the rest (all wearing safety glasses, of course), would back off to a safe distance while the sample was procured.
