Humphreys posted:Don't put stickers on your hardhat. Apparently it fucks with the plastics and makes them weaker. The source of this information is my own hardhat with a load of reflective tape and my company stickers all over. Was denied them on quite a few sites and had to use the lovely 'visitor' hats. That is the biggest load of bs I've ever heard regarding hard hats, and that's including "You can't have the brim backwards because they aren't rated for them" (MSA's website says it's fine) GC's will actually issue you safety training stickers for your hard hat specifically so they can see if you've been trained easily.   I just got back from a ski trip so I happen to have a picture of my newest hardhat sticker on my phone. zedprime posted:If you are wearing brim backwards you should have the harness rotated appropriately or else it's hard to get the harness both comfortable and actually protecting your head. Can't just spin it like a cap in other words. Ok if I'm wearing the harness backwards too, wtf, that's just stupid. AFewBricksShy fucked around with this message at 15:44 on Feb 14, 2020 |

Can't just spin it like a cap in other words. Stickers are, ehh, they probably shouldn't affect inspection too much but you know there's guys using them specifically to cover spiderwebs.

Good thing OSHA has a ruling on hard hat stickers.OSHA posted:OSHA would consider painting or placing adhesive stickers acceptable if the manufacturer authorizes the alteration or the employer can demonstrate that the reliability of the helmet is not affected by the paint or the adhesive on the stickers; and the paint or placement of stickers would not reduce the ability to identify defects (i.e., use of see-through stickers) or other conditions that would indicate a reduced reliability.

Still though if you're painting indoors with a high pressure paint sprayer then your everything will be fully covered by tiny paint droplets in no time. If some unreasonable dick followed that code literally then you'd have to throw the helmet away after one use.

When this job is done I’m definitely putting the stickers I’ve accumulated on my hard hat, but I haven’t stuck any beyond the training ones. I’ve never been told not to, and a lot of the subs have ones with a fair few stickers, but I work for the GC and I haven’t seen any of our guys with them so I’m holding off.

Stickers act as a laminate like safety glass...there's like a zero percent chance the adhesive fucks with the plastic, unless you're using acetone to remove them periodically and melting the hat in spots. Also stickers make you look tough, and accidents never happen to tough guys.

Weirdly enough I rarely see GC's with the stickered out helmets. Any sub usually has theirs covered though. I do what my grandfather (Op Engineer) did and replace them every couple of years and then hang them up in my basement. I kind of like the new style that looks like a climbing helmet, but I can't see myself using the chinstrap. AFewBricksShy fucked around with this message at 16:18 on Feb 14, 2020 |

A job site I was on used color-coded stickers to quickly see if someone was trained to be using the equipment they were on (forklifts, etc.). Seems like a good system to me

There's a leg to stand on and the point is you can cover physical cracks with stickers, or less antagonistically they can crack underneath. But noone looks at their hardhat anyway so just be like this guy and sticker them up but buy a new one on a schedule.

I've played a few games that had telekinesis typer powers and control did it better than any of them. Once you're leveled up it becomes such a fluid game play mechanic. Plus reading all the files on the weird artifacts and whatnot really helped build an interesting world. But obviously not for you if 3rd person shooter type of game isn't your jam.

At work the rule is no stickers or attachments on the hard hats unless they are certified to not degrade or otherwise negatively effect the hat. Of course you can’t get a consistent answer on this for anything so it is effectively no stickers. Naturally a few of our Gus work on sites which require stickers to show they are allowed on site and certified for various tasks etc. They have to keep a couple of hard hats because of this.

From helmets.org, which is mostly about bicycle helmets but I'm sure a lot of this applies to hard hats as well:helmets.org posted:Occasionally somebody spreads rumors that sweat and ultraviolet (UV) exposure will cause your helmet to degrade. Sweat will not do that. The standards do not permit manufacturers to make a helmet that degrades from sweat, and the EPS, EPP or EPU foam is remarkably unaffected by salt water. Your helmet will get a terminal case of grunge before it dies of sweat. Sunlight can affect the strength of the shell material, though. Since helmets spend a lot of time in the sun, manufacturers usually put UV inhibitors in the plastic for their shells that control UV degradation. If your helmet is fading or showing small cracks around the vents, the UV inhibitors may be failing, so you probably should replace it. Chances are it has seen an awful lot of sun to have that happen. Otherwise, try another brand next time and let us know what brand faded on you. https://helmets.org/replace.htm tl;dr Replace it if it's taken an impact or has any visible damage, otherwise it's probably fine.
