11 JUNE 2023 WorldWide Drilling Resource® Customizable Head Protection - Keeping Workers Safe Adapted from Information by Milwaukee Tool Head protection is a safety staple on the jobsite and is used across many trades. Recently, there has been a shift from standard hard hats that have been around for over 100 years, to climbing-style helmets which provide top and side protection. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were 850 fatal occupational injuries in 2021 from slips, trips, and falls. As the awareness of the risk associated with slips, trips, and falls increased, Milwaukee Tool developed BOLT™ Safety Helmets focused on delivering better protection and more comfort. Developing PPE (personal protective equipment) from the ground up, BOLT Safety Helmets and Accessories demonstrate the company’s dedication to helping keep users safe and productive. The increase in safety helmet adoption on jobsites led to design innovations in head protection. Milwaukee Tool’s ANSI/ISEA rated Type-2 safety helmets offer top and side impact protection, padded suspension, and an adjustable swinging rear ratchet to fit multiple head sizes. Milwaukee's safety helmets are designed with an antimicrobial sweatband and helmet liner to prevent odor and bacteria buildup and can be removed to be machine washed. The adjustable chin strap ensures the helmet doesn’t fall off in the event of a slip, trip, or fall on the jobsite keeping users safer during these events. Made in the USA, Milwaukee safety helmets are available in front brim, no brim, vented (Class C), and unvented (Class E) options. Being ANSI/ISEA Z89 Type-1 and Type-2 rated, these helmets are designed to protect from both top and side impacts. The helmets are part of Milwaukee Tool’s BOLT system, the first system to allow users to secure accessories simultaneously for a complete head protection solution. The helmets come with two BOLT accessory slots, universal accessory slots on each side, and front and rear BOLT mounting points. The BOLT system contains a lineup of head protection and accessories, including safety helmets, hard hats, sun protection, eye visors, face shields, a REDLITHIUM™ USB headlamp, and earmuffs which users can combine to tailor head protection to their needs. Milwaukee’s personal protection lineup focuses on creating innovative solutions that won’t slow users down, helping them STAY SAFE. STAY PRODUCTIVE™.
