There seems to be confusion on what type of hardhat everyone should wear on construction worksites. Hats are divided into two categories: Type 1 and Type 2. Many wear Type 1 hardhats, and I believe this occurs based on it having the lowest price — normally around $15 apiece. This type of hardhat is designed to take impacts to the top of the head, like a hammer falling a short distance. It is not designed for side impacts.

Side impacts can come from sharp corners of I-beams, among other causes. This more expensive hardhat will protect you from an impact from an object falling from a greater height. To most rational people, Type 2 hardhats make more sense. Wouldn’t you want your workers or sub-trades — or any site visitors of whatever type — to be wearing Type 2 hardhats? And you need a hardhat with full wrap-around insulation inside the shell of the hat. Remember that the higher up from which that hammer falls, the greater force it hits someone with. Example: it takes a hammer one second to fall 16 feet. But that hammer will travel a further 48 feet in its additional second of freefall time. Meaning it picks up speed the higher height it falls from. Impacts from items falling from greater heights, I say, need full insulation inside that hardhat, in order to reduce the amount of injury caused to the wearer of the hat. Type 1 hardhats might not offer the full protection necessary to limit injury. Here are my thoughts on the aftermath of an accident or fatality, like my falling-hammer example. The Ontario Ministry of Labour (MOL) investigators might conclude after investigation that the wearer should have used Type 2 and not Type 1. The MOL could easily find fault with the employer under investigation of not fully protecting the safety of the worker (sub-trade or site visitor) who was involved in the accident or who died. I believe we should all deliver this highest level of safety at all time. I wear a Type 2 (completely insulated inside) hardhat on all my construction visits. What type do you and your workers (including sub trades) wear?
