Yeah, last year my team was working on creating all new bumpers in our pit and a Safety Advisor came by and told them, "You really need to be wearing gloves when using that circular saw." They looked at him and said, "Gloves are NOT going to stop the blade."

Another year we had a properly insulated junction box on our pit structure, and the inspector made us cut all power from our structure because "he couldn't see inside the junction box to ensure it was properly insulated." On that one I can't blame the safety inspector, but it was a big inconvenience for us.
