Lets talk hard hats!
Boring, but....... everyday is a school day, and I bet you didn't know.
Wearing a hard hat backwards can reduce its impact protection by up to 40%, even though most workers think it makes no difference!
The suspension system inside a hard hat is engineered to absorb force in one direction only! The forward-facing orientation! If you flip it around, it doesn’t work the same.
I was trying to think of a cool tagline to take away, so here goes.
PPE: It does nothing… until it does everything.
Btw, let me know if you need any help with H&S, here to help. Safety Hangar Limited
