Head Protection
Precautions
Employees working in areas where there is a danger of head injury from impact, falling or flying objects, or electrical shock and burns should take the following precautions to help protect the head:
- Hard hats must meet the specifications contained in American National Standards Institute, Z89.1-2014, Head Protection.
- Hard hats should be routinely inspected for dents, cracks or deterioration.
- Hard hats should be replaced after a heavy blow or electrical shock.
- Hard hats should always be maintained in good condition.
- Adjust the suspension so there's 1¼ inches between the top of your head and the shell. (If the manufacturer's directions are different, follow those.)
- Never carry anything (like tools or cigarettes) inside your hardhat while you're wearing it.
