A follow-up to our October 15th webinar, this session will explore the practical application of concepts discussed previously, including the use of head protection to prevent TBIs, how to select appropriate headgear, and information covered in the standards. You will hear from various contractor representatives on how they have incorporated head protection into their overall struck-by prevention programs and how they have handled the current transition many are making from traditional hardhats to safety helmets as well as challenges that might arise. We will also explore limitations to the current standards, research that still needs to be done, and factors that should be considered from the employees’ perspective when making decisions about head protection on the job.
