No
Bump caps are basically just to provide a buffer zone so you don't ram your head in to steel beams full force, or get nuts/bolts/hand tools dropped on your head, or in the case of a pork processing plant, clobbered by a stray hoof or chain hanging about your head. If you get 200lbs dropped on your head, your neck is more of a concern than your skull.
Dude he’s in a massive building with hams hanging at head-level.
Have you ever seen a whole ham? They’re big and heavy. And when they’ve been cured, they’re hard as frick.
Most food processing plants make you wear a bump cap. I've had moments of annoyance when I bumped my head against a shackle or the corner of a machine that would have been life or death trips to the hospital without one.
One time I wasn't wearing a bump cap while moving around/behind/under some equipment and rammed my head full force in to a self tapping screw
its the kind pain and rage where you just start walking in a random direction for 5 minutes
yeah, it hurts. >get shitty job at a factory on a production line >only tall person who works there >need to fiddle with stuff on the line >stand up, hit back of head on one of the hanging terminals and cut it badly because they have sharp bits of sheet metal on the bottom for some reason
I sued. I won. Frick all these Black folk designing everything for manlets.

The best solution, really, is to have made the Chinese slaves. We don't have to work but they also don't get to become rich from us.
Why aren't Chinese our slaves again?

You can demand it, it's not socially frowned upon, you'd just never get it lol.
China is practically industrial revolution England, maybe even worse since they lack ANY sort of moral guidance (id est: England had Christianity at the VERY least).

Because the commies moved in and BTFO the opium trade with an iron fist policy and now they're ironically the biggest capitalists on the planet.
Anon, jobs like these literally prey on people too stupid to know their rights.
They literally present a contract with 9 to 5 hours, demand you come in early, and try to not let you leave until 9-10pm. Packhouses in my country are currently throwing up a fuss because (with the lack of backpackers to exploit) they have to hire locals, which means they're legally required to pay minimum wage. They also have the right to fire you at notice without cause, and the work is "full time casual" so when you end up working for 90 hours in a week, you don't get any overtime pay. The sole reason they do these moronic 13 hour shift gimmicks is to minimize the number of people actually employed - below certain thresholds (100 employees, etc), the minimum standards of safety are lower, and they're not required to hire any full-time employees.
And this is for an industry which is making record profits, and is also being price gouged extremely heavily in my country (all the groceries are sold by two government backed chains with strict anti-competitive leases, so they can get away with it).
Imagine paying 20usd for steak, when that same steak being exported from your country overseas is being sold for 6-7 USD (in places that earn more than you do).
I worked at a place that had "part time flex" which was basically "full time but we don't give you benefits then cut your hours if you work too much and we legally have to make you a full time employee"

Glad you won, anon. Any potentially hazardous work place that doesn't make safety equipment readily available deserves to get sued into oblivion
If a ham fell on top of you it could potentially hurt you a lot, a helmet makes sense, nobody wore them when I worked at a sheep place but the pigs are probably a lot heavier on average.
I worked directly with the guts and for the most part it really wasn't very bad at all, but then every now and again something absolutely foul smelling would come down
Yes. The hams hang over him, like heavy swords of Hamocles, ready to drive their cured meat into his soft supple flesh at any given moment. Every second at work could be his last, if he wore no helmet that is. Even then, other dangers await, of the olfactory kind.

It's a liability thing. If a ham fell on his head, and he wasn't issued a hard hat, they could be jued for negligence. There's probably material safety data sheets posted all around the ham house, and he probably has to keep his first aid and cpr training up to date. I'm surprised he's not forced to wear eye protection and a reflective safety vest as well.
I work in a slaughterhouse. There are dead hogs hanging from chains overhead on a mechanical line that moves them through the kill floor. Some of these hogs weigh almost 800 lbs. Yes, you need a hard hat.
You would genuinely be surprised at how well hard hats perform. Besides, your post is basically like saying "well, safety gloves won't protect you from a bandsaw".
No I wouldn't. I'm often required to wear them at sites I go to. The protection is useless in many situations, and they frequently cause you to bump against objects that you would have otherwise instinctively avoided because they expand so far beyond your natural scalp. As for safety gloves, they come in a large number of different grades and many are not effective against a bandsaw.
>The protection is useless in many situations
And of those situations, extremely few would be any better by not wearing a helmet. >and they frequently cause you to bump against objects that you would have otherwise instinctively avoided because they expand so far beyond your natural scalp.
Key word being "bump," where in the situation without a helmet, it is likely to be more than a bump. Not like you've gone your life without getting head impacts, for reasons often out of your perception.
Hard hats are actively annoying to wear, but protect your brain much more effectively than just relying on your skull. They're not perfect, the just take a constant cost to minimize significantly more costly risks. AKA boring and cringe but practical.
The company I work for provides all the safety gear with the company logo, but there's kind of an unspoken rule that you buy a piece of non-standard gear once you finish your apprenticeship. Sometimes it's the hard hat, but usually it's the visi-vest. It's partly so an apprentice can pick out a particular journeyman because it's "Jim with the blue hard hat" or "Keith with the black visi-vest", but also because apprentices are usually poor and all wear the company gear.
most blue collars are content to wear the issued gear but let it get dirty and stained to show they actually do work.
the guys at your job are prissy princesses.
I don't know where I implied that we don't get dirty. Furthermore, we have boxes of the stuff at our office so if guys were really that self-conscious they could grab half a dozen sets of gear and nobody would give a frick.
You need to stop putting words into people's mouths, dude.

Does a hard hat really matter if a 200lb piece of equipment falls on you? Even 50lbs seems it could hurt you regardless of a hat.
No
Bump caps are basically just to provide a buffer zone so you don't ram your head in to steel beams full force, or get nuts/bolts/hand tools dropped on your head, or in the case of a pork processing plant, clobbered by a stray hoof or chain hanging about your head. If you get 200lbs dropped on your head, your neck is more of a concern than your skull.
It can mean the difference between a glancing blow and getting your head split open.
Look at the size of those pig balls next to him
They're almost bigger than his head, of course he wants to protect himself. You should have known this OP, considering how many dicks you suck.
Of course they do. He's at his limit. He might pass out and hit his head.
I bet he said the same thing with his limit was 300 hams, perhaps the this is the key to long term limit breaking?
Dude he’s in a massive building with hams hanging at head-level.

Those hams are aged in a natural cave, so stones and shit falling from the ceiling are a real danger.
Yes. The hams hang over him, like heavy swords of Hamocles, ready to drive their cured meat into his soft supple flesh at any given moment. Every second at work could be his last, if he wore no helmet that is. Even then, other dangers await, of the olfactory kind.
He needs the hardhat because the hams are in the ham cave. Ham stalactites and such, you know.

imagine the smell
did anyone save the blade runner ham edit?
That pig hanging over him like The Sword of Hamocles
Aside from safety it’s probably also more hygienic, I’d rather have a hard hat hit my ham than his hair.
More like mean at pork, am i right?
why is he wearing the hard-hat backwards?
You best keep sniffing, boy!
Big Ham don't like to be kept waiting.
dios mio..
He can eat a ham in one single gulp
How does he get out without breaking the hams?
He can navigate his way through using only his sense of smell.
This is something that any seasoned Ham Sniffer can do.
Sniffed Hams, old family recipe.
