CONGRATULATIONS TO THE BOSTON RED SOX, WINNERS OF THE WORLD SERIES!

This year’s World Series brought two great competitors together – the Boston Red Sox versus the St. Louis Cardinals.  Congratulations to Boston for winning in the sixth game, at Fenway Park, Boston.  After going what the citizens of Boston went through, the Boston Marathon bombing, it seems fitting that they have a way of showing Boston Strong.  Red Sox’  David “Big Papi” Ortiz earned the MVP award.

Now that Major League Baseball is over, and college and professional football are working their way to a finale, we will soon have basketball, both college and professional, to look forward to.  Regardless of your choice of certain sports, or all of them, what better way to show your support than by wearing a hardhat that shows your favorite team every day at work? 

Texas America Safety Company has a huge selection of all sports teams hardhats – from World Series Champs Boston Red Sox, and all MLB teams, to NCAA and NFL, NHL and NASCAR. 

Once you check out the team hardhats, you may also prefer a patriotic hardhat, camoflauge, or choose to add your own embellishment to a certain color plain one.  Texas America Safety can customize your hardhat with your name, or other decals to choose from.  It’s done in-house, in order to speed up delivery time.  If you want to order one of these great hardhats, remember, there’s a 5% discount just for mentioning that you read about it on Blog4Safety. 

Again, we applaud the Red Sox and their fans for the World Series Championship.   Whatever your sport, remember to express your favorite team by staying safe with a team hardhat.

TEAMS GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL! BROTHER AGAINST BROTHER!

Football fans, this year’s Super Bowl should be a good one.  All season long, many have watched their favorite teams play for this final Championship game.  The matchup, as you already know, is between the AFC Champions Baltimore Ravens, coached by John Harbaugh.  On the other side of the field, John’s brother, Jim, will be trying to lead his NFC Champions San Francisco 49’ers to victory.  This first ever Super Bowl brother v.s. brother matchup,  should bring even more interest to fans.  (How their parents will get through this is anybody’s guess.)  This will be some family reunion!

Now’s the time to order your favorite team hardhats!  What a chance to show your team spirit at work, and, if you are lucky enough to go to the game, there, too!  Remember, if you mention keyword: BLOG4SAFETY, you’ll get a 5% discount off your order.

Super Bowl XLVII will be at Mercedes-Benz Superdome, New Orleans, February 3rd at 5:30 p.m.  If that isn’t wild enough, the game will be held inbetween the two week-ends of Mardi Gras.  It is the first time the title game is being played in New Orleans since Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast in 2005.  Since serving as a shelter in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the Superdome has undergone $336 million in repairs and renovations.   

 Load up on snacks, because sometimes the commercials are as good as the game!  We hope all football fans will enjoy the game; if your team isn’t playing, there’s always next year!

WHAT DO FOOTBALL HELMETS AND HARDHATS HAVE IN COMMON?

The answer: protecting our hard heads!

If you have waited all summer for football season to begin, it’s here!  My husband loves this time of the year, scoping out every football game that he plans to watch, while at the same time, switching channels to Texas Rangers baseball games, and week-end golf tournaments.  His remote trigger finger has to move pretty fast.  (He prefers to surf channels rather than watching two events at once!) 

Chances are, he’s not the only one who is in a great mood, now that NCAA and NFL  football is here.  Are you wondering where the hardhats come in?  Well, most guys and gals that are required to wear hardhats in their line of work have the opportunity to sport their favorite team hardhat!  Can you think of a better way to support your team than showing off their logo for an 8-hour shift?  Chances are, you will see some fans wearing their team hardhats at the games.  

Not wanting to slight any other sports, there are hardhats that display the MLB, NHL, NBA, and NASCAR logos.  The main function of hardhats is to protect our heads, either from getting hit by falling objects or bumping into things.  Hardhats have come a long way since they were first created, being made of leather and shellac.  There are all types of attachments that hardhats can contain, such as protective neck shields from the sun, sunshield that fit around them, earmuffs, headsets, and pencil holders. 

Just as helmets and pads protect our football players from injury, hardhats serve the same purpose for workers.  It’s surprising just how many types of hardhats exist: ones that are aluminum, high visibility Glow-In-The-Dark, and even Cowboy style hardhats that furnish the same safety functions.  The key to a successful safety program is to protect employees from head injuries.  The easiest and most important way is by wearing safety hard hats.  These protect workers from the shock of a blow to the head, and penetration.  The shell should be 1 to 1 ¼” away from the head to cushion impact, and the hardhat should have instructions for proper adjustment and replacement of suspension and headband.  Proper fit is of the utmost importance. 

While your employees are wearing their hardhats to be compliant with safety requirements, allow them to support their favorite teams by wearing their logo on their hardhat.  Make compliance fun!
