Hard hats are the main piece of head protection that protects us from potential brain damage or other head injuries that results from the impact of falling or flying objects. It also protects the head from electric shock. To provide maximum protection, head protection hard hats must be fitted correctly and worn according to manufacturer’s instructions and country standards.

When should head protection be worn? 

  • In areas where there is potential of being hit or struck by falling, fixed or moving objects e.g. scaffolding or crane operations
  • Where there is potential to fall from height e.g. elevated work platforms
  • If there is a potential of head contact with electrical hazards 
  • When exposed to UV, weather and extreme temperatures 
  • Wearing head protection is one of the easiest ways to protect your head from injury 
  • Inspect your hard hat each time you wear it, or at least weekly 
  • Do not wear the head protection over thick beanies or over “hoodies”
  • Always replace hard hat if it sustains an impact, even if damage isn’t noticeable .
