In honor of Construction Safety Week May 4-8, we’re talking about the importance of custom, durable hard hat decals from AGI Solutions.
It’s always a good time to recognize the hard work and skill that goes into construction projects of all kinds, all the time, throughout America. On May 4-8 this year, the industry celebrates Construction Safety Week and calls attention to all the ways construction workers work together to keep each other safe.
Here at AGI Solutions, we’re keenly aware of construction safety protocols, in part because our services facilitate one key part of jobsite safety: hard hat decals. We’re taking a moment today to explain what these decals do and why they’re so important.
In addition to our year-round decal production for our construction industry partners, we’re also hard at work right now preparing signs and banners celebrating the week and the men and women who are out there keeping each other safe and building our country. And if you’re in the construction industry in any capacity, thank you for being a part of these incredible teams!
What are hard hat decals?
While some job sites permit workers to have fun and customize their hard hats with personal stickers, AGI Solutions hard hat decals are something completely different.
Our highly visible, reflective decals are made of 6 mm UV-protected vinyl, so they remain easy to see for a long time, regardless of the harsh conditions they’re exposed to.
We create customized decals according to our clients’ needs. They can include company logos and other images and words in easy-to-read fonts, and they can also be numbered at no extra charge.
Why do job sites use hard hat decals?
In short: identification. As construction workers go about their tasks, the superintendent and safety officers maintain continuous oversight in order to ensure that everyone is where they need to be—and no one is where they shouldn’t be. They note their observations in the site’s logbook, detailing everyone who is onsite and which of those people have special training.
How do hard hat decals facilitate job site safety?
From the outside, it’s easy to assume that everyone knows what to do and where to go. But construction projects are much more complex and dangerous places to work. Instant identification is a must.
Construction workers all come with a particular level of training and special skills in any number of trades, like welding, electrical, pipefitting, etc.
Here are just a few of the ways custom hard hat decals help keep job sites safe:
- Keeping unauthorized people out of the site. (Highly visible, quality-printed custom decals cannot be easily replicated or forged.)
- Ensuring only trained specialists are performing particular tasks. (While some workers may think they can drive a forklift or weld a pipe, only qualified individuals should do it.)
- Keeping track of how many workers are on site, especially so they can quickly recognize who’s missing in an emergency.
- Allowing everyone on site to quickly recognize workers who perform certain duties, especially in an emergency (ie someone who is CPR trained or on the rescue team).
- Informing first responders about who they’re working on or talking to, who to contact in an emergency, and what medical conditions the person may have.
