HARD HATS
We can see a lot of workmen on construction jobs, walking around without hard hats. And sooner or later, they're going to be struck by a tool or debris. Some of them think nothing can happen to them because they haven't been hurt so far. But they never know when a piece of concrete, a small rock, or a tool is going to fall ten stories and land on their head. HARD HATS SERVE SEVERAL PURPOSES
Hard hats not only reduce the chances of serious injury resulting from failing objects, but protect you when you bump your head on things‐ like machinery, ductwork, brackets and protect you from electrical shock and burns. When there is an impact on your head the sensitive tissue that supplies blood, nutrients and protects the brain, might rub against the hard shell of the head. This may cause a swelling or tearing of the tissue. If it swells, it will bulge inwards and exert pressure on the brain, which may lead to drastic consequences. Such complications cannot be detected in the early stages and when they are detected it may be too late. That is why, you are always insisted to wear hard hats.

Hazard and Risk
A Hazard is defined as
Something with a potential to cause harm.
Hazards may be categorized as Physical (eg. Trailing cables or electricity)
Chemical ( eg. cleaning chemicals or fuels)
Biological ( eg. bacteria or viruses)
Ergonomic (eg. Repetive movements or using great effort)
Phychological (eg. Work pressure or hours of working)
A Risk is defined as
The likelihood that harm will occur and the severity of the harm. Wherever possible, hazards are eliminated through careful selection and design. If hazards Cannot be eliminated risk will need to be minimized by physical controls, eg. Use of an anti‐slip floor surface
1. Look for the hazards
2. Decide who might be harmed and how
3. Evaluate the risk and decide whether existing precautions are adequate or more should be done
4. Record the findings
5. Review the assessment and revise if necessary
