Innovation in Project Delivery, From Hard Hats to Safety Helmets
The National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health (NIOSH) and its partners are working to prevent work related (WR) traumatic brain injury (TBI). Consistent with the hierarchy of controls, prevention of WR TBIs should begin with efforts to eliminate hazards, and use engineering and administrative controls at construction worksites and among construction workers. The use of personal protective equipment such as helmets remains essential in many construction settings to prevent injury. The industrial “hard hat”, originated over 100 years ago to protect workers from head injuries due to falling objects overhead (American National Standards Institute Type 1). The industrial “safety helmet” is designed to reduce the force resulting from a blow to either the top or sides of the head (American National Standards Institute Type 2).
