Hard Hat Inspection

Hard hat inspection involves a daily visual check for cracks, dents, fading, or brittleness in the shell and inspecting the suspension system (headband, straps) for fraying, cuts, or tears; perform a "squeeze test" to check shell elasticity and ensure it returns to shape quickly, replacing any damaged component or the whole unit immediately, especially after impacts, with replacements usually needed every 2-5 years or annually for suspensions, following manufacturer guidelines
