Your Hardhat Protects Your Head
There are some standard excuses for not wearing a hardhat—it is too heavy, too hot, too cold or too bulky or even too ugly. But all of these excuses sound very flimsy when you consider how a hardhat can save your life. Hardhats protect you from head injuries. An impact that would cause minor injuries on another part of the body can cause fatal or life-changing injuries when the head is involved.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Meeting Kit
Personal protective equipment, commonly referred to as “PPE”, is equipment worn to minimize exposure to hazards that cause serious workplace injuries and illnesses. These injuries and illnesses may result from contact with chemical, radiological, physical, electrical, mechanical, or other workplace hazards. Personal protective equipment may include items such as gloves, safety glasses and shoes, earplugs or muffs, hard hats, respirators, or coveralls, vests and full body suits.

What Are the Hazardous Conditions That Warrant Head Protection?
Being at risk for a head injury is dependent on your work environment and its associated hazards, as not all working environments require head protection. However, when it is required, a worker must wear protection even when there are no apparent signs of danger. Industries like construction, power, oil and gas, mining, forestry, and others enforce such standards as the risk of head injury to workers is continuously present.
