PSA: A hard hat might seem like overkill when you are not going up to roofspace or climbing ladders (where there is risk of items falling from above), but I was glad for one a couple of weeks ago, as I was in the plant room at the top of the general hospital, looking at the space for an equipment rack and clouted my head on a solid metal duct for airco that runs the length of the plant room - without the hat this would have been painful! #safety #PPE #OccupationalSafety #SafetyAtWork

For low headroom, hard surfaced environments I find they make me misjudge how much I need to duck and I bump my head more often and that ends up hurting my neck.

They do sell dedicated bump caps for this that look a lot like normal baseball caps and are much lower profile, but I never got round to actually buying one. (Also I really did need the dropped object protection on other parts of those sites so I couldn't use one anyway.)
