hard hat Why are Hard Hats Important? As you drive by construction sites, tour factories or watch repair crews at work you may notice that most, if not all, of the employees are wearing safety helmets. A hard hat is one of the most important pieces of safety equipment that your employees will wear. Head injuries are particularly dangerous and can occur when an employee slips and falls or when a piece of equipment or debris falls from overhead. It is the employer’s responsibility to take reasonable precautions against such accidents. Hard Hats are manufactured with a variety of different features. Some are available with added face shields to protect an employee’s eyes and face. Some are also compatible with mounted hearing protection which is particularly important if your employees work in a noisy environment. When you shop for hard hats be sure that you are buying a true safety helmet and not a bump cap. A bump cap is designed to protect its wearer against minor scrapes or bumping of the head only. It is not appropriate if there is a reasonable risk of material falling from overhead.
