Among all the safety gear that is used on a construction site, there are few pieces that can project a sense of personality and give crews a chance to express themselves as their hard hats. However, hard hats also provide the construction company an opportunity to reinforce their values through company identification, safety campaigns, and employee recognition.
When you are working on a job site that involves many different sub-contractors, it is important to be able to easily identify who is working with which company. For that reason, hard hat decals can help with company identification. This will help streamline the crew members’ work in that they will have to spend less time figuring out who to talk to. It is also helpful for foremen; as foremen try to get the big picture of what is happening on a job site, they can easily look around and identify the different sub contractors who are present simply by looking at their decals for hard hats.
Another use for hard hat stickers is for safety campaigns. Whether you are trying to cut down on slip-and-fall accidents, want to make crew members more aware of open conduits, or just want to heighten the profile of safety in general, hard hat decals will make it impossible for crews to look around and not think about the issue at stake.
The third primary use for hard hat decals is employee recognition. When you are working on a job site with different sub-contractors, crews, and other personnel, it can become difficult to keep track of who is who. This is especially true when crews are wearing uniforms, carrying equipment, and wearing hard hats. By putting each person’s name on their helmet, you not only make it possible to address them directly and ease the communication in-between work crews, you also enable quick identification in case of an accident that incapacitates the worker.
Hard hat decals can be printed in a few different color schemes. For a less expensive option, you can choose spot color decals. These decals usually only have one color that is printed on one of a few different backgrounds. The backgrounds can include various solid colors (most popular are usually yellow and white). Another option that has an added benefit for a construction site is reflective material. If you want more options in your hard hat decal, you can choose digital decals. These provide greater choices in colors and design. They are ideally suited for logos and designs that are detailed or are based on photographs.
When choosing a provider for your hard hat decals, make sure that the decals are water and weather proof. They should also have a UV lamination. Because hard hats are worn outdoors a lot, this will prevent fading that comes from a large amount of sun exposure. A few different companies that are worth checking out are AGI Solutions, Inc. (www.hardhatdecals.com) and Kennedy Graphics, Inc. (www.kennedygraphics.com). You can expect prices to vary depending on the number of decals you are ordering, the material it is printed on, and the color and design of the logo.
