See more with a 'See-Through Hard Hat'

A new trend could be hitting our construction sites across the UK and Ireland this year. Injuries on sites are to be radically reduced by using translucent hard hats, according to the Global Construction Review!

Earlier this year an Irish work wear company launched the first see-through version of the traditional hard hat, which reportedly will give workers better peripheral vision where the wearer will see from any angle without excessive head tilting while scaling ladders and scaffolds.

The lightweight hat is made from high impact UV400 stabilised polycarbonate, which is fully compliant to EN397 standards.
