Safety has always been a very important issue in all industrial activities, especially in construction. After all, it is not your ordinary office job and requires some precautionary measures. The more prepared Laborers/workers are, the lower the chance of accidents and injuries on a construction site. The head is the only organ in the human body that is completely lined with bone. This by decree of nature establishes the importance of protecting a very vital functional component of our body, the brain. Hard hats or safety helmets act as the first line of defense against head injuries, but they only work when worn correctly.
Here are some of the benefits of wearing a safety helmet at work
#1. Protection against head injuries
Safety helmets are designed to protect the head from falling of objects and the side of the head, eyes and neck from any impact, bumps, scratches and electrical exposure, etc. The use of a safety helmet is a mandatory requirement that must be followed by all employers who must provide their workers with safety helmets/helmets and ensure that they wear them. Since, on average, hundreds of workers per year sustain fatal head injuries, hard hats are crucial features of workplace safety.
# 2. Protection industrial
There are industrial workplaces where the risks posed by head injuries are so overwhelming that standard compliant industrial safety helmets are not sufficient to provide a satisfactory degree of protection. For example, in industrial sectors such as mining and construction. In such cases, employees should be provided with a high-performance industrial safety helmet that also includes a shell and headband with good shock-absorbing properties and side impact protection. They must also consist of a protective padding that absorbs the energy of the impact and therefore reduces the forces transmitted to the user’s head. This padding is usually made up of foams with elements such as polyurethane.
