What is protective headgear?

Protective headgear is anything worn on the head designed to protect it from work-related injuries. It offers more protection than your standard ball cap or beanie (although we have sun- and other weather-appropriate choices). Protective headgear is designed to protect from serious bumps, falling objects, electrical shocks, and other extreme situations. It can also provide the worker comfort when dealing with the elements of the seasons like wide brimmed hats and hard hat sweatbands to keep you shaded and cool in the summer, and knit beanies to keep you warm in the winter. Protective headgear can look dramatically different depending on the specific hazards it offers protection from and the situations it’s worn in, so make sure you shop around and know your industry needs to narrow down your search.

Why is head protection worn?

Above all else, head protection is worn to prevent head injuries. Many job sites and industries have hazards that can cause head injuries, including lateral or top blows to the head from walking or moving into a stationary object. Head injuries can result in hospital visits, long-term injuries or disabilities, and even death. Having appropriate headgear, and wearing it while on the job, reduces your chances of getting a head injury.
