Why do I need head protection?

[willCDM]

I thought I would share some pictures of damage to one of our guys helmets.

Object (retainer shackle) dislodged at height - fell 25m - Hit operative on the helmet.

Thankfully Petzel helmets are one of the best in the game or this would have been a fatality.

Might be worth checking your guys PPE if you haven't checked it in a while

Glad they were OK.

I'm reminded of this story from almost 2 years ago...

"Matthew Judson itemises the range of head protection and considers the trade-off between comfort and safety."
