The importantance of a hard hat.

[button1803]

Today another day like any other...

 

was on site with my work mate and through sheer accident a conifer branch came down and took my hard hat off and knocked me for 6.!

 

went to the local doctors, got checked over, no need for a trip to hospital though, just lots of different pain killers and muscle relax tablets to take..

 

just sevre whip lash kinda feeling basically and a very sore neck ... but could of been alot worse..

 

but just wanted to say thank god for the hard hat, how ever it is a worry when i have seen this week some people doing tree work with no hard hat on whilst on the ground.

 

could of been alot worse for me today. stay safe everyone.

take it easy button..... Hard hat is essential in treework, i too cringe and judder when i see people just using muffs and safety glasses.

I've taken a pretty big hit on the helmet before and from what i can remember i was pretty much out cold.

 

Use your loaf....wear a lid!!
