Executive Q&A: How Bump Caps Are Taking Head Protection Beyond the Hard Hat

Date: Thursday December 19, 2024 at 2:00pm ET - 1:00pm CT - 11:00am PT

There is a critical gap in workplace head protection: the risk of bumps, scrapes, and cuts from low ceilings, overhead objects, or tight spaces, but traditional hard hats aren't applicable or impractical for the environment or work scenario. How do safety managers in industries such as warehousing, manufacturing, and transportation ensure safety without overburdening employees?

Enter bump caps, which fill this by providing lightweight, comfortable, and versatile protection that encourages worker compliance. Join OH&S Editor David Kopf as he interviews Tim Gallant, Vice President of Product for Ergodyne about the applications of bump caps and how to implement their use in various work environments and what performance standards are available to guide decision making.

However, a large portion of the program is dedicated to answering your pressing and important questions related to head protection. This webinar will allow you to get direct expert insights and tap into Gallant’s expertise. Bring your pressing head safety questions and get direct answers. This is more than a webinar; it’s your chance to gain practical knowledge and actionable advice.
