The safety policy regarding hard hats includes:
- Using the correct type of hard hat for the job. The hard hat should be labeled with the CSA or ANSI Type and Class of protection.
- A Class E hard hat is required for construction and utility projects. It provides electrical protection up to 20,000 volts.
- Type I and Type II hard hats meet the CSA and ANSI standard for impact protection. Type I hard hats protect the top of the head, while Type II hard hats protect both the top and the sides of the head. Type II hard hats are recommended for use on construction projects.
- Hard hats that are poorly maintained or improperly used can fail. It's important that you follow the manufacturer's instructions.
- Inspect your hard hat every day before you use it.
- Clean your hard hat using mild soap or a cleaning agent recommended by the manufacturer. Never use a cleaning solvent.
- Never wear a baseball cap under your hard hat.
- Never paint a hard hat or make holes in a hard hat.
- A hard hat should normally be worn facing forward. It may be worn backwards only if it has a reverse orientation mark.
- Never store your hard hat in the rear window of your car-intense sunlight can make it age more quickly.
- Never spray your hard hat with insect repellant-it can damage the material.
- Hard hats are not made to last forever. Find out the useful life of your hard hat by contacting the manufacturer or reading the manufacturer's instructions.
