ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a day in the life of a hard hat
I
ndustrial electricians can be wearing their hard hat for up to – or sometimes over – eight hours a day. Around 2,000 hours a year. That is a lot of time. And during it all, its job is to protect our most important asset and greatest tool – the brain. A complex organ that controls thought, memory, emotion, touch, motor
skills, vision, breathing, and every process that regulates our body. It is a pretty tough and important job. That is why MSA Safety sees hard hats as much more than merely a protective shell. The company sees them as an electrician’s companion – your companion. One that is with you throughout most of the working day, five days a week, 12 months a year. And one that might just be a lifesaver. In this article MSA Safety will walk you through a
day in the life of an industrial electrician’s safety helmet. Why? Because the company wants to bring to life what hard hats withstand on a daily basis and reveal how quality head protection not only keeps electricians safe but contributes to increased confidence, wellbeing and greater productivity. It is time to shine a light on your most important – yet lesser celebrated – companion.
9am: the workday begins
It may be the end of a long week, but your electrician helmet with integrated arc-flash visor needs to show up and set about its job: being ready to save your life. It is an important job. You need to feel confident that your hard hat can withstand whatever is thrown its way. So, what are the characteristics of a quality helmet with integrated full-face shield that that makes it robust enough to do its job, day in, day out? A protective arc-flash resistant foam at the top
of your face shield helps enhance the seal between shield and hard hat, elevating your safety. An anti-scratch coating face shield – that is also
anti-fog – means your vision is unimpeded. A reusable storage bag means you can stow away your hard hat and keep it protected when not in use, helping it to stay at the top of its game.
It can also help increase the service life of the hard hat, providing an added cost-effective bonus.
