Hard Hat policy

Large electrical Construction company’s who simply require any basic hardhat are putting on a Dog and Pony Show (in my humble opinion) . When hard hats are required at WDE a type 2 climbing type hard hat built with electricians in mind ,must be used for obvious reasons. Lets Discuss the Differences .

Key benefits of Type 2 hard hats:

  • .Type 2 hard hats are designed to absorb and deflect impacts from the side, reducing the risk of serious head injuries from lateral impacts. 
  • .By providing protection against a wider range of impacts, Type 2 hard hats can help reduce the number and severity of head injuries in the workplace. 
  • Many Type 2 hard hats are designed with better fit and ventilation, encouraging workers to wear them consistently and for longer periods. 
  • Some industries and workplaces require or recommend the use of Type 2 hard hats due to their enhanced safety features. 
  • While Type 2 hard hats may have a higher initial cost, the reduction in injury rates and increased worker satisfaction can lead to long-term cost savings.
