I have to get a hard hat, too, but they issue those.
Wow - sounds like you hit the ground running, good show! RE steel toed boots, I was surprised to see how many styles of footwear have steel toes these days, even athletic and hiking styles. Course it depends on the spec. required for your job.
I recently got my guys new safety vests (orange with reflective silver was our spec.) but these had pencil pockets, small pocket on front and two inside pockets for a field book. Very handy to keep around.
