High Viz Jackets - Mandatory at GA Airfields?

Just received a missive that High Viz Jackets will be mandatory at Nottingham (thats the original Tollerton, EGBN - NOT EMA!) from this Saturday 31st March 2007 due to an edict from the CAA.

Does this apply to all GA airfields now or has someone in authority got carried away with this?

I realise that employers have a duty of care to their employees etc but is the wearing of high viz vests at a small GA airfield mandatory? I can understand the value of wearing same at a major airport with lots of vehicles etc on the ramp but I do feel this is overkill at small GA fields!
