If you think DOSH regulations only require affected employees to wear hardhats on

large scale construction sites, think again! The standards require all affected

employees to wear an approved hardhat ANYWHERE they are exposed to falling

objects as well as, when a worker is exposed to contact with an electrical current.

Here is an overview of some of the different types of jobs that could require the use of

hardhats:

• Working beneath a co-worker who is handling tools or materials on a ladder

• Working beneath conveyors

• Working near tractors or similar equipment that transports soil, rocks or gravel

• Working in a trench or other excavation
