ABOVE AL L: KEEP YOU R HEAD
Many times we have heard thl
adVIce, yet a study of accldenl reports
shows that many of our m ember
gel careless about pr teCllng their
heads on the job. Head protection
(hard hats) is provided to protect us
frtlm falling objects, fr m smklllg
objects with our head In t.ght space,
or from elec trical Cfmlact when
work!l1g near elecmcal equipment.
Hard hats arc des.gned with shapes
that lend to deflect falling objects
and have a uspens",n system de ·
s.gned to absorb as much of the
.mpact as p ssible whde spreading
the remamder ovcr a larger area _
Whde th e hard ha t ma)', In the case
of heavy object falhng great di -
tances, dent or even shatter, it still
has abso rbed a great deaJ of the un·
pa t before doing so. This shock-
ab orblIlg action has saved many lives
and reduced many injunes. Without
such protection an item such as a
wrench dropped only a few feet, could
not only calISe a skull fracture, It
could drive panicles of bone Into the
bra.n causmg permanent d.sability
or dcath
This hould explain why hard hats
should be regularly impected to see
that there are no nicks, scratches, or
dents that could weaken the malerial
and also to sec that th e shock-ab-
sorb1llg uspension syslem is prop·
erly adju ted to the head SlZe and
securely attached to the shell. When
properly adjusted the sheH has a pro-
tective pace between It and the head.
ThiS pace not only aHows ventl la·
tion 10 make the hat more comfon -
able, but also contributes to the cush ·
• nll1); effect of the suspension system.
When working aro und electrica l
ci rculls, a Class "n" hard hat shou ld
be worn. It should be understood thar
nutlnng should be allowcu tu ill,"r-
fere With the dielectric strength of
the e helmets. Care shou ld be exer-
cised to scc that they arc nOt thrown
down or loose ly thrown into the back
or noor of a vehicle; but lhal when
Ihey are nOt being worn, they are

securely stored III a rack des.gned for
that purpose.
Som'~ d"cals can hI· dangcrnu, on
J Class "n" hard hat. There arc many
decals manufactured using conducl-
ing materials which could affect lhe
d,declric properties of the helmet.

lhat wiU not have an dfect on the
safety ,)f the hard hat
When tlunktng of pruleclIng the
head, we should not overlook the
eyes and the ears_Ten percelll of the
<1ccldcnts reported to our Inembl:rs
IIII YHS were eye .nJunes thai should
bave been preventable if the proper
eye or face proteCl!on had been worn .
Many fecI thai their normal street-
wear eyeglasses are 1I:,:trc t y ll
They often are told thiS by sa le men
selling these products. Aceually, these
glaM,c. arc supposcd to 1'" a test to
comply with Food and Drug Admin·
,strOUon mirumum standards. They
do nOt, however, provide suffiCIent
on-the-lob safety. The 0 HA reo
qUlfementS sta te that eye and face
proleclion must meel th e requlfe-
ments specified by the Amencan Na-
tional Standards Insmutc {ANSI). We
rec",n mend that eye and face pro-
tection, like hard hats, be cemfied
by the Safety Equipmem Institutc
{SEI) to show that they comply with
the ANSI standard. The EI label
assures that the manufacturer's prod-
UCI has been tested by an Independ -
enl lesting laboratory and that an
mdependelll qua lity-control auditor
frequent ly checks to see that precau-
lion are taken to assure that the
prOdU CIS continue to meel the ANSI
slandard .
Many time we fi nd emp loyees arc
injured because Ihe type of eye pro-
tct.:tlOn they are wearing I ' not the
prope r type for thelf work environ-
ment . This happens frequently when
an emp loyee is workmg over hi head
w.th eye protection without side
shields or with open t ps . Pan.c1es
of sand, cement, in ulation, or c1ipped-
off wife fragmen ls can go behmd the
glas cs and mto the eyes. Using the
proper lype of protection, would have
prevented those injurie.
When workIng around chemicals,
splash-reSistant goggles should al -
ways be woro . These goggle prevent
spla ,he; of the chemicals reachi ng
the eye and pro lect agalnsl fi ne
dusts and mise -. In so me envuon-
mcms complete face h.c1d at-
tached 10 the hard hat prov.de better
proeecuon- provlded Ihey meet the
AN I tandard.
Welding helmets to protect the
eyes fr m the lIlJunous rays of weld-
109 torches have filter lenses in dif-
ferem hades according to the lype
of welding being done. Welders and
glasses. those ar und thcm shou ld be sure to
have the helmets on belore an arc .s
struck. Those working in areas where
an electncal arc or flash could ccur
also necd to be weanng na h glasses
to filter thcse rays. WHhom the.. e
fil tcring len es the eyes can receIve
flash bums that cause eyes to feel as
if they are full of sand . Permanent
damage can occur, but even minor
flash burns can be quite paInful.
One form of protecnon oiLe n over-
looked by our members '5 ca r pro·
tection. Whenever t he noi se level is
ahove RO decihe l ~ (the nOIse level of
normal ci ty street traffic), heanng
prOtcCllon should be worn . The hear-
Ing protection provided should have
a noise·rcduction ratio ( RR) that
would reduce the exposure to no
more Ihan 0 deCIbels.
All in all, we only have one hcad.
It's dtificulL to get along WilhoUl any
part of it ; so let 'S all usc our personal
protec ti ve equ.pm ent, and keep ou r
head!

does t hat do for you r morale! Local 2104 did all
the d irty work and took the bumps :lDd b ruises to

done Is IhlS bypot:l'lsy and UlSenslUV tt y or merely
obtuseness on the pa rt of a management appara t US
that doesn 't see the problem it is c((~ a tt.ng!
NYI'A proudly proclaims Its StatUS:IIS Ihc largest

In thiS same. Cunenfs NVPA says, " You, the people
who work here, ha\'C' been d uec.dy responSible fo r
all of our Qchu?yemt.'nls" For once I don't dunk
anyone In Loca l 2104 would disagree With NYPA's
words . H oweyer, maybe! \<i'C should remember the

This Man's
Heading in
the Right
Direction

S afety on the job is

very important to ISEW
members. Hard hats,
ear muHs, eye goggles,
they're more than just
common sense
approaches to your job,
they could save your
life, or cou ld save you
from serious injury. So
many times we hear of
a member injured on
the job site, and many
times that injury could
have been prevented or
lessened if proper
safety procedures had
been followed . The
ISEW has historically
been concerned with
safety on the job.

When on the job,

get the proper
safety equipment
-and use it!

An ISEW
