Hard hat

Not seen them before but agree they would look daft. Surely within a few weeks they would be covered in small scratches and abrasions? Also how much does a hard hat restrict your view if at all when you have the right size?

 

You mean one of these translucent protectors that goes over the head

The Portwest ones don't look like they have mounts for ear defenders which are much easier to use than ones with a head band

 

These are the ones we use - JSP with an inbuilt visor and can take ear defenders.

My view is that if you need to wear a hard hat then you shouldn't be there and if there is no danger then you shouldn't have to wear a hard hat.

 

What gets me is that you're made to wear them outside in the wide open, what are they expecting to fall out the sky's.

 

The visors normally used when it is dusty, although with these you can wear safety specs or normal specs underneath. Although a lot of sites now insist on safety specs all the time.

However as Chippie say If there is a risk of something falling on you, then you shouldn't be there and if something did fall then a HH won't give much protection. Although wear one of these a lot when in the workshop or working in atticks

 

I don't work on sites.
