All helmets sold today can be associated with what was used as metal headgear in ancient times to protect warriors from blows to the head. It was part of the armor they used to protect their heads in battle. Just like in ancient times, soldiers who are considered modern warriors still use helmets as critical protective equipment when performing their tasks. Currently, protective headgear still serves the same function, but for completely different reasons. Full brim helmets for sale are now used to provide safety for workers to minimize head-related accidents and injuries.
As part of the historical origins of modern protective headgear, it is documented that on a fateful day in 1912, Franz Kafka was hired by the Kingdom of Bohemia to address the growing concern for industrial safety during a critical period of the Industrial Revolution. With this simple invention and safety concept alone, he was able to reduce the number of accident-related fatalities in the workplace to one death per 40 workers. This is a dramatic reduction from the hundreds of work-related fatalities per 1,000 people.
However, the modern helmet with all its additional safety features was invented by the famous American construction scientist Edward Dickinson Bullard. He had the idea when his son came home from World War I with his combat helmet. Unlike the MSA helmets sold today, the first Hart hats were made of hard leather and could withstand less force than their modern counterparts today.
The first known widespread use of protective headgear and the first designated "helmet zone" was during the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge in 1933. Since then, helmets have continued to evolve into what is now considered a workplace necessity, and the technology has even been used for protective headgear in sports. Today, you can even see pink helmets designed specifically for female workers for sale.
A helmet is a simple piece of equipment that can have a significant impact on personal safety. In fact, most (if not all) industrial and construction companies will not allow their workers to enter a house without head protection. Whatever your opinion on the usefulness of these helmets, one thing is for sure, you never know when an accident will happen and when it does, you must have the protective headgear that could save your life.
