Work is buying me a camera... for a specific task

I have the Sony RX100 (not RX1000) for work use in a K-12 educational Institution - I had been using my K20 but that is not always practical for the reasons you have listed.
It is small as you say but too much on the flimsy side for workshop use I think, I am gentle with my gear but have had some near issues with the transformer style pop up flash and it is going to catch on an overalls pocket lip for sure.. The high ISO capabilities more than compensate for the lack of macro lights.

For your situation I would go with the WG3 or the Panny or Olympus equivalent versions of it. Several years ago we had a construction course in our institution and I purchased the Olympus waterproof and shock proof camera - it was often passed around the students and many of the pictures had biggy blurry areas on them due to grubby fingers on the clear lens cover. Did the job well enough however. Robustness is definitely an important attribute.
