I was watching a TV show Sunday on one of the history type channels. They were setting up a scanner to scan the outside then the inside of a castle somewhere in the UK. Before that they used a GPR unit to look at some underground features.
It looked very fast, don't know what type it was, but they didn't seem to spend much time getting results. I just wondered if it was so edited that the time to computerize it was deleted.
They scanned the outside walls then went inside to get those and up showed scanned image. Seemed very fast to me.
Also, for some reason the guy working the scanner wore a hard hat at this castle where there was no other work going on, all the other people were wondering around without hats or maybe a ball cap. Is it dangerous to operate them for some reason?;) JK
Maybe the UK has their own version of OSHA.
Whenever operating ANYTHING with ANY "moving parts," (like an electric toothbrush), you are required to wear a Hard Hat (just in case something flies apart).

I was hoping he was pulled of a nearby construction job, and was dressed for that, I would hate to think you have to wear one of those every time you do anything in the UK.
I was informed this year that hardhats have an expiration date. I looked at mine and it's sometime in 1996.:eek:
I have another one under the back seat but it's quite a bit older, didn't bother to check it.
There are a lot of people with sensitive brains that require hardhat to be worn.
I recently worked on a high profile construction project that actually checked our hard hats. Almost as bad as the race I do in Mexico that requires our seats to newer than 5 years old. It is not like these cars set outside when not being raced.

Was your hard hat compliant? Mine sure isn't
I have, and only have had, one hard hat. 1974. not giving it up now. retire in 2 1/2 years.

We were talking about it a while back, no one was sure where to even buy a hard hat. Maybe one of the local rental shops would have them. All mine I ever had were given to me by contractors. 1974? Yeah that one is probably expired.:cool:
Hard Hat hijack.
My grandpa's lid sits on a shelf with our field books. It aluminum with some sweet scratches and a couple of dents.
The one I use is from Japan, is fiberglass, has a chin strap and fits like a glove. It looks different but chasing your hat down the cut is no fun. I wear it on windy days if we are in the woods.
I don't do much construction staking anymore but the last supers trailer I was in had a few bright prink hard hats for those who forgot theirs. Ha-ha.
I've found that some of the older-style inner shells fit MUCH better than the newer ones, one reason I still wear one I've had for a very long time now.
The only superior evidence is that which you haven't yet found.

I had to get a new one. Not the end of the world since I was not that attached to the old one. I loose them down a slope occasionally

I have a few "trophy" hard hats also. Past expiration date. Bought a new one at a hardware store the last time I needed one.
I suppose the plastic goes brittle. Hey, my head gone brittle also. Is it past some expiration date, maybe not I'm still alive.
Definitely too boring to show a computer sitting away with a loading bar.
As for the Hard Hat... I've been on some green field sites, months before anyone else on the job, in an open cow paddock. OHS site requirement is that all persons on site must wear a hard hat at all times. Plane could fall out of the Sky, or a Meteorite. Maybe even a bird could have a heart attack mid-flight and strike me. It's sad when overreaching safety misplaces common sense... but then again some of the 'common' sense people are why we now have overreaching safety standards...
I've been hit on the hard hat twice, once from from a falling nut that some butterfinger dropped while trying to thread it on. The other time was while standing at the base of the inside of a dewatered hydropower surge chamber while waiting to go up the fifteen meter ladder to the top. The guy who went up before me got his hard hat caught on the top rung and it fell off and down onto my head. The other odd thing I've seen with a hard hat was while cutting scrub. I set a fire to clear some of it but it got out of control and somehow in the mad scramble to sort things out I took the hat off, since I wasn't cutting anymore, and when I went to retrieve it, although it hadn't been caught by the flames, it was just a blob of soft snot-like plastic - not sure I'd want one of those on my head in a fire.

What could possibly go wrong?
Worst thing about getting a new brain bucket is all those stickers you loose, you like a newbie on the next site 🙂

They issue us yellow Nomex. First thing you do is go roll in the dirt so you don't look like a greenhorn.
A few years ago I started writing my name on the outside back of my hardhat, to stop it getting pinched or worn by someone else. For a long time I wondered how, on site, everyone seemed to know my name, and reveled in the apparent popularity, thinking my eminence had preceded me.

LOL. I have mine along with company name on front with a label maker, lots of sites there are lots of folks and nobody knows who each other are, I thought it was a good idea, however I haven't experienced what you have, so I think you must actually really be popular!

A hard hat makes a good rain hat. So I'm often wearing mine.
