When the weather gets colder, or the rain comes along,
outdoor workers need to keep warm. It is almost always a requirement to wear a
hard hat when working on a construction site, however a lot of workers think it
is okay to wear a hoodie or beanie underneath their hard hat.
The fact is, this is not only dangerous to the worker, but
also the people below if the hat had to fall off from a high place and hit
them.
What are some of the dangers of wearing a hoodie under your
hard hat?
- The hard hat doesn’t fit properly, so it easily falls off
your head.
- Workers may drop what they’re doing and attempt to catch the hard hat.
- The falling hat can endanger anyone below.
- Wearing a hoodie narrows your field of vision, therefore increasing the chances of injury.
- If the hard hat falls off it exposes your head to dangers.
- Helmets are damaged when they fall off and cannot be used again.
Hard hats are specially designed to take a large amount of
impact, but if the hat falls from a height and shows any sign of damage it
should be replaced immediately!
A workers safety is the most important thing, so a hoodie or
beanie should NEVER be worn underneath a hard hat.
To keep warm, consider getting a manufacturer approved head
warmer that is designed to fit under the hard hat. Contact L&A Safety, or pop into one of the branches for a wide range of PPE equipment, such as hard hats, safety goggles, eye protection and so much more!
