Head Protection
Where there is a danger of objects falling, loose debris or low ceilings, exposed pipes and enclosed spaces, there is a need for head protection on the work site. Thankfully, there is a big selection of PPE workwear to help you look after your head whilst you work, whatever the specific hazards in your environment. All head protection has to meet strict European standards to make it eligible to be worn in a workplace and you can find out the standards that each piece of headwear PPE meets by looking at the individual product page.
Bump caps are small and lightweight pieces of head protection, but they are extremely effective in preventing injury. They are shaped a lot like baseball caps but with a tough shell inside that is best suited to protecting your head against stationary objects. This could be the low ceiling in a room in which you are working or the underside of a vehicle up on a ramp. Wherever there is a chance of impact between you and an object above or laceration from an item, the bump cap will come to your rescue.
Combination helmets not only protect your head but also your face and sometimes your hearing, too. These are ideal for anyone working in fields such as forestry, where you need to watch out for falling objects, but you might easily also be injured by items flying up into your face or by the constant exposure to loud noises. In this case, the combination helmet is great head protection and more.
Hard hats are a staple PPE safety workwear product and absolutely essential on a number of different types of sites across many industries. These items cushion impacts to protect you through the working day from hazards such as falling masonry and other objects.
