Description
Rarely a week goes by in which someone does not come to our site wondering if they have to wear a hard hat and when, or if they have to wear fall protection and when, or if they have to wear a respirator and when, etc, etc. My simple response: yes, yes, yes, always, always, always.
From a design standpoint, these PPE posters are fun to create. The contrast and simplicity of the design add to the simplicity and importance of the message. On the other hand, these posters are hard to design because of what they represent: horrific accidents, injuries and fatalities that could have been prevented had the workers inspected and worn the proper PPE as required. As harsh as the situation designed is, we hope the message gets through. PPE, especially hard hats, are vital to safe operations.
