a Hard Hat is required in almost every industry where there is the risk of being injured by falling objects or when working in areas of restricted head space. The function of a Safety Helmet is to absorb the impact energy and reduce the risk of permanent neck injury. The Personal Protection Equipment at Work Regulations 1992 state that hard hats should be fitted comfortably to the wearers head. The wearer should be able to adjust the size to acheive this and this adjustment should allow for the wearing of a cold weather liner underneath their head protection when needed. Our hard hat range meets the requirements of EN397 (the European Safety Standard for Head Protection) With the Corporate Manslaughter law coming into effect on 6th April 2008, it is paramount that you can trust the source of your PPE. As your head is of vital importance make sure you have the right hard hat for your needs.
