  55. So when you first get your hard hat, you want
  56. to check it out.
  57. It won't have any stickers or anything.
  58. It would be nice And the clean and perfect and
  59. normally come in pre standard sizes, there's two main parts
  60. to it.
  61. There's our shell and the inner suspension system.
  62. So the artist outer shell is what protects your head
  63. under suspension system is what sits on your head and
  64. make it comfortable.
  65. Uh, the inner suspension system also prensa shock of the

  68. it on your head, Sit nice and flat adjust the
  69. back so it's nice and snug.
  70. Make sure it's nice and parallel.
  71. Make sure is not tilted to one side.
  72. You have it tilts to one side, exposes one side
  73. of your head to injury.
  74. So you want to keep it clean.
  75. The best way to keep it clean, take it home,
  76. get a rag cloth, just clean the outside, clean the
  77. inside. You wear it a lot, it gets dirty quickly,
  78. clean it regularly.
  79. Store properly.
  80. A lot of people that can put up on their
  81. dashboard in the sunlight, keep it out of the sunlight,
  82. you leave it out in the sun for long periods
  83. of time.
  84. It will develop cracking.
  85. Any cracking will reduce the structural integrity.
  86. So check it every day, make sure there's no cracks,
  87. no holes if it ever gets damaged, replace it, make
  88. sure you store it properly, it's taken the back seat
  89. of your truck, make sure it's out of the sun.
  90. Give it a nice visual inspection.
  91. I recently just changed out my suspension system in here.
  92. The front pad arrest against my forehead came cracked, became
  93. uncomfortable to wear.
  94. So I bought a new system in there, pops out
  95. pretty easily.
  96. It takes about five minutes, pop the new one back
  97. in there.
  98. It's good to go if it ever gets damaged, replace
  99. it immediately.
  100. Any damage to the hard hat will reduce its structural
  101. integrity. So check for damage often that about covers it
  102. today we talked about what our hard hats and who
  103. are they for?
  104. Why should you wear one and proper wear and maintenance?
  105. I hope you wear something before we leave.
  106. I want to give you a short little story one
  107. time. A couple years ago I was working up on
  108. a family cabin in Mammoth in the winter, walking around
  109. the cabin notice there's a lot of ice up on
  110. the roof.
  111. So I was walking under the overhang and all of
  112. a sudden I heard a crack.
  113. I looked up and all of that ice came falling
  114. down. So luckily didn't hit me in the head but
  115. did hit me in the face.
  116. Give me a nice scar.
  117. I spent the rest of the day in the emergency
  118. room. Had those chunks of ice hit me in the
  119. head. It might be a lot worse than a little
  120. scar. So wearing hard hats will save your life every
  121. time I go up there now I bring hard hat
  122. just in case I go walking around the cabin with
  123. all that ice up there.
  124. So, Oh, very hard hat.
  125. Thank you.
