A pink hat is more than a novelty. It is a useful item for home and work. OSHA or the Occupational Safety Hazard Management requires workers involved in construction, mining, tree trimming, or any job where objects may fall on them to wear a hat. The hat prevents any head accident or injury from possible falls and impacts.

The hats are often sold in white, orange, or yellow for visibility reasons. But you can also buy hats that come in a range of colors, including pink. Pink is the favorite color of many women around the world. Many people think that hats are only available in boring and generic colors just as they think that construction is a man’s job. Women can still wear their favorite colors even in a male-dominated environment like construction sites. In fact, pink hats are not that common, but here are some tips for finding a pink hat:

*Check local hardware or construction equipment vendors who may sell pink hats. Many hat makers are already creating hard hats in pink, so you can try your luck in your neighborhood.

* Look in the yellow pages for outlets that sell women’s construction kits in your community. There are more than a few companies in the US, like Woman Up, Girly Lock, and Safety Girl, that offer pink hard hats and other construction tools and equipment for women in blue-collar occupations.

* Search for supplies on the World Wide Web. Companies that make pink helmets and other gear are available. Great websites to research are Amazon and eBay.

Hats are available in many classes, Class E, G, and C. Class C is conductive and offers no electrical protection. Class G protects up to 2,200 electrical volts. The E-Class is an electrical hat that can protect 20,000 electrical volts. Wearing a hat certainly has its own benefits. You become the center of attention, and it marks you like the rose among the thorns.
