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
Cheers

IOSH magazine - "Head protection PPE guide: a head start"
