Head Protection

Almost every industry in which there is a potential for head injuries head protection is required. During 2011 & 2012 HSE reported that there were over 8,500 head injuries within the workplace, and some ended in fatality. This severely identified the need for head protection whilst onsite.

Here are a few key points to consider when selecting your head protection:

• It should be in good condition, if it carries damage dispose of it, a damaged helmet is no good.
• It should fit you comfortably and properly.
  The helmet must not prevent the user from wearing hearing protection (when needed).
  
• Make sure your head protection is obtained from a reputable supplier as unfortunately there are fake hard hats on the market.

At Brandon Hire Station we provide a CE Marked EN397 hard hat. The equipment will fit users with a head circumference between 520 & 630mm.

Our hard hats feature a vented design to help keep your head cool as well as an adjustable ratchet strap and internal harness complete with sweatband. The actual devices themselves measure approximately 165 x 290 x 230mm (H x L x W).
