Head & Face Protection

It is crucial to protect the head and face from injuries in situations that expose workers to falling objects, impact hazards, or dangerous substances. Helmets and hard hats are the most common forms of head protection, but they are not all made the same. They are designed to absorb and distribute forces that, if left unchecked, could cause serious injury to the wearer's head. Helmets commonly have a tough outer shell. They also have a suspension system that allows the helmet to fit snugly and comfortably on the head while complying with safety standards. When purchasing hard hats, ensure that they comply with the most recent ANSI standard.

Face protection enhances head protection by giving added coverage for the eyes, nose, and mouth, which is vital in areas where there's a potential threat of chemical splashes, airborne particles, or intense heat. Face shields and face masks are used in a variety of industries—like construction, manufacturing, and healthcare—to keep the user safe from coming into contact with debris, harmful chemicals, or biological agents. The material and design of face protection are made to afford a clear line of sight while also meeting rigorous standards for impact resistance and full-face coverage, which means a high degree of safety and a comfortable fit for the user.
