Protecting employees from potential head
injuries is a key element of any safety program. A head
injury can impair an employee for life or it can be
fatal. Wearing a safety helmet or hard hat is one of the
easiest ways to protect an employee’s head from injury.
Hard hats can protect employees from impact and
penetration hazards as well as from electrical shock and
burn hazards.
This month’s safety topic addresses head injury
prevention. The information and tools found on these
pages will assist you in preventing these accidents in
your workplace.
