If you're a seasoned Podcast Listener, this podcast will be different from most you listen to. It's based on exactly what the name implies - Warehouse Safety Tips. And since the people in that industry are busy - we know time is money so each episode will be as short and to the point as possible.
And now that all that is out of the way - let's get to the Podcast!
Why Hard Hats Are Essential PPE
Today on Warehouse Safety Tips - we're continuing our series on Essential PPE. We've covered PPE related to feet, hands, ears, and eyes, and now we will discuss protecting your head. The hard hat is one of the most crucial pieces of personal protective equipment (PPE) for this.
Workers in factories and warehouses often face head injury hazards such as falling objects, flying debris, bumps or knocks from equipment, and electrical hazards. Wearing a hard hat can significantly reduce the risk of severe or fatal injuries and provide protection.
Hard hats are a helmet designed to protect the head from impact and penetration hazards. It consists of a rigid shell made of materials such as plastic, fiberglass, or metal, with a suspension system inside that helps absorb and distribute the force of an impact. Staff can add accessories such as visors, earmuffs, and face shields can also be added for additional protection.
Much like gloves, hearing protection, and safety glasses, hard hats can get hot, uncomfortable, or get in the way of your actions. However, it's paramount that you don't remove them while in an area or job requiring them to be worn. Even though accidents can occur at any time, in the moments you have a slight error in judgment, they catch you off guard.
Wearing your hard hat will help keep your head and brain protected, assist in your facilities' safety goals, and significantly increase your chances of returning home safely each night.
