Posted By jeanne fairbrother An issue has just been raised about storage of hard hats on a college premises Our construction students are given hard hats and they have to then keep them with them. They are regularly checked and maintained and replaced if damaged but the nature of the site means that staff and students have to keep the hard hats with them and wear them as they enter the site. The issue has been raised that the college is not providing storage facilities for the hard hats as required under the regs. The problem is lack of space with the very large number of students on this site. Would this be considered acceptable? I'd appreciate any thoughts or comments please or what other institutions do about this?

Posted By John J Jean, it may be worth doing a survey to see what the size of your problem is. You may find very few students want this facility so your problem is reduced, John
