Happy Monday team! Today’s post is about our switch from the traditional hardhat to the helmet.

Part of a group I am involved with put together a Hard Hats to Helmets website, in it offers a lot of resources and a great explaination as to why helmets offer more protection, and why we are switching:

“Why change from hard hats to helmets?

Helmets offer superior protection for construction workers. Traumatic Brain Injuries are responsible for 25% of all construction fatalities, and many life altering injuries. These safety helmets are inspired by the best features of hard hats for construction and head protection for sports such as rock climbing and cycling. They incorporate energy-absorbing liners, and other technologies to ensure the head is better protected from impact. These helmets can help the construction industry reduce these fatalities and injuries.”
