Well, it makes as much sense as wearing a condom ALL. THE. TIME. (even when you arent having sex)The point is to prevent OSHA fines.

A few of us were walking off a job site in the middle 80's in Ocean City, MD.Better fit…. It won't fall or blow off head from my experiences
I’m fighting against a stupid PPE rule right now that was created by a committee that is more interested in paying lip service to liability protection than actually increasing safety. Drives me crazy.Well, it makes as much sense as wearing a condom ALL. THE. TIME. (even when you arent having sex)
Would that hard hat be useless with rocks and gravel that bounced off a low boy trailer? rocks falling off the rear axle of a tri-axle truck?And what is the point of wearing a hard hat to pick up trash outside in the open along the roadway? sh** aint going to drop on you from above, and a car hitting you is going to send that thing flying, so its useless.
I always shake my head when I pass those guys.
My 7yr old self would like to inform you that yes **** will literally drop on you from above. Especially if the bird thinks his name is Luke, your head is the death star, and ear canal is an exhaust vent.And what is the point of wearing a hard hat to pick up trash outside in the open along the roadway? sh** aint going to drop on you from above, and a car hitting you is going to send that thing flying, so its useless.

Two sides of that coin.Would that hard hat be useless with rocks and gravel that bounced off a low boy trailer? rocks falling off the rear axle of a tri-axle truck?
The possibility's are endless for the reasons to wear PPE gear like hard hats.
Eli Lilly is self insured.Edit: Eli Lilly is the devil’s spawn. But boy they comply with insurance companies mandates.
It's called The Alliance. I was in there for about a month until Covid kicked me out (everyone was supposed to work from home - can't do QC checks on construction work from home) I never went back, I prefer being "outside the fence"They have the collective that does all Lilly work. We got with them and just did parts and smarts. We made a nice 40 precent on less (nearly zero on site labor).
From personal experience I know that my hard hat saved me from several good wacks on the noggin.Would that hard hat be useless with rocks and gravel that bounced off a low boy trailer? rocks falling off the rear axle of a tri-axle truck?

Other side of that coin, without the hard hat you could have severed your spine and now be a para / quad or dead.Two sides of that coin.
Working on red iron with floors, a bolt (or nut) from above. A spud wrench, the whole **** torch, a tool belt with all the tools.
Working outside on scaffolding, a brick or bat (part of a brick), a block, a shovel, brick tongs, a 4 ft level, a masons trowel.
Hope you got a hat.
Other side of coin.
Your 6+ ft tall and the scaffolding cross members are only 5 ft 11 in tall and you can’t see them because you have a **** plastic hat that blocks your view up and you finally after 24 years hit one hard enough it brakes your neck. Now doc says no more work for you.
**** wish I wasn’t wearing that hat.
But the insurance company is happy, after all isn’t that what it’s about? 1 coin, 2 sides.

Heres a short story with working for a company that just doesn't take employee safety very serious.And what is the point of wearing a hard hat to pick up trash outside in the open along the roadway? sh** aint going to drop on you from above, and a car hitting you is going to send that thing flying, so its useless.

I bet it was not DalmatianWanna guess which Fire Alarm, Fire Sprinkler Company this was?
Not RSQ.Wanna guess which Fire Alarm, Fire Sprinkler Company this was?
It was not.I bet it was not Dalmatian
Nope.Not RSQ.
I think In 2025 all hard hats are supposed to be like this.I was against it at first because it looked dumb, but I actually like it better than my old one, now.
Way more comfy and the holes on top allow for good air movement. Chin strap is removable as well if the job doesn't require it.
