A: When working on a construction site, there are many dangers that can cause a potential head injury. Wearing a hard hat is wise, in order to prevent potential Florida construction injuries.
Your employer should want you to wear a hard hat in order to reduce your risks of a construction head injury in Florida.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires that all employees wear hard hats if there is a possible danger of falling objects. The hard hat must meet the American National Standard for Personnel Protection or the American National Standard for Industrial Head Protection requirements.
Additionally, there are many local requirements that specify when hard hats are necessary to wear. If you have suffered a construction injury in South Florida, please contact a skilled Sunrise work accident attorney to find out your rights.
