Here’s an example of how helmets are saving lives. This incident occurred 20 days after a major construction company transitioned from hard hats to helmets.
If this crew member had been wearing a hard hat, it would have easily fallen off his head during the 14-foot fall and likely resulted in a tragic incident. He was cleared of any injuries upon checkup, went home to his family the way he came to work, and came back to work the next day.
