Things That Go “Bump” Into Your Head

Have you ever been doing a simple task, not paying close attention to your surroundings and then accidently hit your head? It hurts! Imagine instead if it was a metal shelf or frame, piping, or a conveyor belt. Ouch! If there’s one thing we can state with confidence, it’s that hitting your head against anything isn’t fun and it doesn’t feel good.

Unfortunately, this occurrence isn’t something we can take for granted, especially in the workplace. According to a 2011 survey conducted by the American Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), approximately 33% of work-related head injuries are a result of impact while the worker was not wearing any form of head protection. 

These instances take place in areas where hard hats are required and also in places where they are not mandated. In places where the hard hat is required, this statistic reflects a potential compliance issue. Those non-mandated areas though have a plethora of reasons you weren’t wearing head protection, starting with the fact that it isn’t required. Another popular excuse is that a solution has not been offered.

Head Protection They'll Want to Wear

Enter JSP® HardCap A1+™ Bump Caps from PIP. The Bump Caps feature a tough HDPE liner that provides all around protection (from front-to-back and side-to-side), helping prevent costly bumps and scrape injuries. Multiple brim options are available to meet the demands of different applications: Regular (2-3/4"), Short (2"), and Micro (1").

A1+™ Bump Caps are also designed for comfort. The lightweight design looks like a baseball cap, allowing workers to be comfortable while looking professional. It’s also well ventilated, keeping workers cool and comfortable.
