I would have thought they would be reasonably sensible. After all the incidents of 'struck by aircraft' is vanishingly small compared to struck by ground vehicles. If the airport has trained drivers and few airside vehicle operations (particularly if those ops are not under aircraft - that is not tugs ladders, baggage carts, cargo equipment) then the risk assessment should show very low probability and moderate risk. As such it would be very surprising (and facinating to see the logic) if a real risk assessment concluded that HiViz is necessary or even appropriate at most GA fields.
