Summary Statement

Incorrectly worn safety equipment can cost you your life. All workers exposed to the risks of moving roadway traffic or construction equipment should wear approved high-visibility safety apparel. Do not wear baseball caps underneath your hard hat. Hard hats are engineered to keep a designed distance between the hard hat shell and your head. In addition, a baseball cap may contain metal parts that could alter the dielectric (nonconducting) properties of the hard hat. Most manufacturers produce head coverings e.g. head warmers.
