Headlamps can be critical PPE in hazardous environments
As a tool, headlamps are essential when hands-free lighting is required in low-light areas for a wide range of tasks, such as operating and maintaining machinery or assessing its condition. Headlamps are also necessary for safe, efficient personnel movement throughout the plant, particularly in confined or restricted spaces. At sites with flammable gases, vapors, liquids, materials or dusts on the premises or in the air, having a headlamp that does not generate a spark is critical.
To protect personnel in any work environment and to defend against such liability, a growing number of industrial safety officers are including or specifying headlamps in the company budget, as PPE.
