In every place of work especially when doing dangerous jobs, it is very important to have some kind of precautions like wearing hard hats. This type of helmet are commonly used to avoid you from getting injured because of electric shocks, falling objects, bumping on objects and from debris. In any hazardous surrounding, the main concern is always about the safety of the lives of the employees.
Working in construction is one of the most dangerous job, which requires a high level of safety measures. If anything is dropped, it can be very lethal the higher its drop point is and impacts resulting in head wounds are considered the most lethal of all. This can be very serious problem that is why employers require hats to be worn at all times.
The hats must be worn all times, which is for the protection of our body, especially the brain, ears, nose, eyes and mouth. Just one injury can be able to make you a handicap for life. Aside from the helmet, equipment such as eye goggles, steel toe boots, protective clothing and safety gears are used to protect to the whole body.
These helmets are made to resist puncture from objects and to absorb the shocks from a blow. Most of them are also resistant to electricity and water and they should not easily get burned and must be properly ventilated for the comfort of the wearer. In the past they were made mostly of aluminum metal and fiberglass though the now they are mostly made of plastic which are very firm, durable, and light.
They are separated into three industrial classes. Class A helmets are designed for general service and they provide good impact absorption, but limited voltage protection. They are mainly used in mining, building construction, shipbuilding, lumbering and manufacturing. Class B are good for jobs that are engaged in electrical works.
These are great choice if you want to be more protected against burns or high voltage shocks aside from falling objects. Class C types, on another hand, were made for the comfort of the wearer and are more light in weight, yet they offer limited protection. Although it can prevent you from getting injured from bumping stationary objects, it cannot effectively protect the employee against electric shocks and falling materials.
They can also be fitted with other accessories such as ear protectors, visors, flashlight or headlamps, insulation pads and even mirrors. Chinstraps and sweatbands are required by contractors to prevent the helmet from slipping off, which is potentially hazardous to those below them. Most laborers working on road maintenance have fluorescent strips or reflectors on their hats for added safety when working on the highways.
They can still be used for five years if they are carefully cleaned before replacing them. They come in various colors, which indicates the roles of the people who wear them though the colors used will depend from one company to another. For example, the white hats are worn by engineers, managers, or supervisors while the workers use the yellow ones.
Yellow are usually worn by the workmen and orange or pink are worn by new employees and visitors. Workers should clean their hard hats periodically so that it can be used for a long time. Other than that, they should always wear it on site so that they will be protected at all times.
