When To Use Hard Hats

Written by fashion on November 19, 2009 – 6:26 am

“In 1915, my grandfather began work on a helmet that could protect miners from falling objects,” said Edward D. “Jed” Bullard, the Bullard Company’s fourth-generation president/CEO. “He based it on the doughboy, a helmet he’d worn as a soldier in World War I. The ‘Hard-Boiled Hat,’ patented in 1919, was so called because of the steam used in the manufacturing process,” he explained, adding that the first hard hats were made out of steamed canvas, glue and black paint. The world’s first industrial protective hat is now a staple of equipment supplies for many employers.

There are several different types of hard hats for work. A Type II helmet provides some degree of protection for off-center injuries and top of head injuries. Class E, electrical helmets, are intended to protect wearers from falling objects, electrical volts and serious burns. Employees who work with electrical equipment will be spared from burns up to 30,000 volts that persist for three minutes. Class G, general use helmets, keep workers safe from falling objects and up to 2,200 volts of electric current for one minute. This is one of the more popular hard hat equipment supplies for miners, construction workers, tunnel-builders, ship-builders, lumberjacks and manufacturers. Class C, special service hats, are intended for lightweight comfort, rather than electrical resistance, and may be used for oil field/refinery workers, chemical plant workers and certain light construction or manufacturing positions to protect from head bumps.

When choosing hard hats and equipment supplies, individuals should make sure the helmet meets OSHA standards. They should also check with their employer to see what colors and styles are allowed. Individuality in the workforce is beginning to show itself in subtle ways as manufacturers offer new colors, themes, designs and custom logos. With the transition to more skilled labor positions and new energy jobs, more and more workers will need hard hats in the future.
