Hard Hat Awareness Week 2023
12th - 18th June 2023
Hard Hat Awareness Week was introduced to drive brain injury awareness through activities encouraging best practices around safety equipment.
The impact of a brain injury can be life-changing for the injured person and their wider family and friends.
Wearing a hard hat, maintaining and storing it appropriately, and being more concussion and head injury aware are all vital to keeping hard hat wearers safe.
We want to remind people about the importance of wearing hard hats and taking any impact on the head seriously.
Even a minor brain injury can significantly impact, so take time to stop work, report the incident and recover fully before returning to work.

Being a 6 footer I can tell you working the scafold with a hard hat has wrecked my neck way more than its ever helped my head.
Must have a weak neck 🙄
Please elaborate young Michael
@@jasonantigua6825 I'm guessing that he hits his head on the level above because of the additional height of the hard hat, jolting his neck back. Or he has to continuously stoop because of the additional hat height.
@@jasonantigua6825 Hard hat peaks obscure your view when walking between scafold levels, the height of the helmet means you have to stoop in certain areas and carying loads makes this even worse. Hiting my head on putlogs or brackets, and thus wrenching my neck, was nearly a weekly occurance.
Hello Michael yep up on the scaffolding ones hard hat is constantly thumping or making contact with it. A lower profile hat would help, it’s more irritating than anything else. But I am a believer as on the 2 occasions I did remove my hard hat, on the first we had been adjusting moving a mobile alloy tower & in the process we dislodged a large & heavy slate which smacked me on the head, it fell from about 15ft, the result was a deep gash to the bone & a profuse amount of blood, it was quite a whack, we had a first aid kit in the big van so washed out the wound sterilised it & bandaged up & carried on with the work. The 2nd wasn’t so terrible but could have been, we were doing a demolition at a job & I had fallen backwards lost my footing on a pile of stone, result another cut to the head. But I had missed, by inches, a large nail protruding from the wall behind.
But in my defence that’s the only 2, (lack of head protection), incidents in decades of working in Construction
I have noticed lately in EU something odd regarding safety helmets. Most of the timber framing companies have adopted the utility climber helmet instead of the usual safety hats with a shade. As I was UK trained in Health and safety I keep telling them, the nose and face is exposed to falling objects and they keep laughing at me ending by telling me that they will change the helmet when that becomes a risk...
I know a guy who was decapitated on site but thankfully his head was unharmed because he was wearing a hard hat.
Anybody had a chin strap accident? I've always worn a helmet but on one occasion while decending a structure with all the correct equipment and in a responsible manor I had a slip as I was climbing down, my chin strap got hooked on a bit of threaded bar just as I was putting my foot on a rung below, for brief second my body weight was transferred to my neck my foot missed the rung and I was hanging of the structure by my helmet. Double quick I grabbed on and sorted myself out (it shook me up) since then I've always been cautious of those chin clips and I never go for a helmet with one that is to strong, just enough to keep the helmet on is all that's needed.
Obviously they’re important but that poor young man drew the short straw there. Looked bored out of his mind. 😊
🤣🤣I thought he did well. I was thinking, he must be thinking 'yeh what has it got to do with me' The usual teenage attitude' but he did well🤣🤣🤣
@@watchit16 i'd av told em to feck off xD lol
As a lorry driver of 38 yrs, i have noticed this hard hat nonsense being rolled out in the container ports. Even if an empty 20ft container fell on my head, the equivalent of a tupperware pot on my head will make no difference.
I survived the first 15yrs without a hi viz vest and purchased my own steel toe cap boots in the first 12 months after seeing another drivers' foot get turned into 'strawberry jam' by a forklift.
Always remember, Health and Safety edicts will always garner the cheapest options. There is no room for common sense and personal evaluation of your own safety.
If the construction site is still on the groundworks phase, why would you need a hard hat. Children go out in groups from school to the swimming pool etc and all have hi viz vests on and yet, they got to and from school without one.
Common sense is the biggest casualty of the 21 century, and the Health and Safety commissars are removing all personal safety decisions from the individual.
Well done Toby, lets hope his friends are not going to ask him, 'what was all that about.'? These days if is not a challenge on Tik-Tok, they're not interested🤣🤣
Also worth checking the manufacture date of the hard hat, there is usually a symbol inside it which tells you the month and year. Should change it every 2 years of use or get rid if it's more than 5 years from when it was made.
Hi Mike
The HSE requires all safety equipment to have a use by date. I have it on very good authority that a 5 year old hard hat is still perfectly serviceable provided it has not been damaged.
Why?
@@jrcp106 Plastic age made worse by sun exposure and ozone makes it brittle so it might not save you in the event something falls on it.
@@hanleypc Interesting. Mine are usually bust within a year so not something I need to consider.
I use the red one, the plastic part with titening knob? Detaches when you take the helmet off. (At 2.41 it's locked, at 3.33 it 's not.) Put it on tighten it and bottoms out stilll loose, suck!
Hate them. So easy to forget they add couple of inches of height so when ducking under something you normally can, end up hitting the hard hat, more harm than good. Need the old days when we could wear flat cap.
Was introduced for airline maintenance I worked. Because of risk of damage to aircraft (walking underneath and potentially impacting fuselage- dent risk) for reason you state, they stopped issuing them.
I think you'll find it's hard-hat month, along with fireman's helmet, police helmet, stetson and Indian headdress!
With this hot weather , can someone invent steel toecap flip flops
Ahhh you mean Australian safety boots.
@@andljoy
They call them thongs , confuses my xhampster account
😂😂😂
Helmets need to be much more form fitting of the the skull. The helmet balancing look, stops many from wearing them.
Helmets, another good reason not to work on the big sites😂!
Got to agree! The big sites are full of helmets these days!
No wonder everything takes so long to get built in this country, all the workers are sitting around playing with there helmets .
@@jasonantigua6825 Loads of tools too!🤣
Its simpler to just not have an accident .
Good luck with that
By definition accident means something YOU dont want to happen:)
That Young Lad should have been given a new hi viz vest before going on camera.
Yeah some companies want u to wear a hard hat with chin strap to hang doors on the ground floor.......on price......nah 👍
