Every year, mainly in the construction industry, workers die or are injured as a result of head injuries. If a helmet is worn, the chances of serious injury are greatly reduced. Wearing it can save workers' lives.
Where there is a risk of falling objects from overhead, protective gear should be worn as required by law. Whoever is in charge of a construction site or workplace must ensure that personnel wear safety helmets. Posting signs will also let anyone know that safety helmets are required in the area.
Helmets must be worn properly and instructions on how to wear them must be known. Many companies provide helmets for their employees; if not, it is important to know who will provide them.
Helmets come in a variety of designs, and it is important to have the correct type for the job to be done. If in doubt, contact the supplying company or even the manufacturer directly. A properly fitting helmet should have a shell size that fits the wearer, as well as an easily adjustable headband, neck back and chin strap. The range of size adjustment should be large enough to accommodate a thermal liner for use in cold weather. Safety helmets should be as comfortable as possible, otherwise the likelihood of not wearing them increases.
Whenever possible, helmets should not interfere with work in progress. Checking measurements the moment the helmet is removed can be tragic. Chin straps should be provided and used if the work involves working in windy conditions or repeatedly bending or looking upward.
Helmets should be compatible with any other personal protective equipment (e.g., goggles). The design should allow them to be worn comfortably to remain effective. The manufacturer's label will inform of the helmet's compatibility with other types of safety equipment. Do not attempt to modify the helmet as this may weaken it.
Helmets must be maintained to keep them in good condition. They should be stored in a safe place. Constant direct sunlight may damage the helmet. Check the helmet for deep scratches or tears; if severe, replace the helmet. Check the manufacturer's label for any replaceable parts. The placement of paintings and decals may also weaken the helmet. The life of a helmet varies with use; helmets may last a week or several years. If an object hits the helmet, replace it.
