Helmets are the latest and greatest in head protection PPE making way for a discussion if they are required by OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health). We will take a short trip into the OSHA requirements, the ANSI (American National Standards Institute) standards, and best practices regarding head protection. We will give you as much information about both the Hard Hat and Helmet so you can make an informed decision on how to properly protect your employees and help you understand why some contractors have already made the switch.
