PPE TOP TIPS TO


CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING THE RIGHT HEAD PROTECTION FOR YOUR TEAM


The human brain is an amazing thing. With 100,000 miles of blood vessels and 100 billion neurons, it enables us to breathe, think, dream, retain memories, and make 35,000 decisions each and every day. So, it is well worth looking after by choosing the right head protection. But with a myriad of options out there, how do you know what to look for when choosing a safety helmet, and what options will help your team perform to the best of their ability? Here, the experts at MSA Safety explain how to choose the right helmet for your team...


E


verybody loves a bargain, but it is not worth putting the health of your workers at risk with lower quality PPE just because of its initial cost. But, beyond safety,


maximising your PPE budget by choosing a quality safety partner will not only ensure that you get a better, more consistent return on the money you spend. It will also help to get the most out of your team. If a worker knows that they are well protected they can have complete confidence in carrying out their duties. The best choice of helmets will also be the most comfortable. This can contribute to a happier workforce, one that will create a better culture within your organisation. The result of greater confidence and happiness is a willingness to work more efficiently. Forbes has even suggested that a happier worker can be up to 20 per cent more productive – meaning your PPE budget has paid for itself. To achieve these


benefits, hard hats need to be appropriate to the workers’ task and working environment, fit comfortably and provide the highest levels of safety.
