Who has the responsibility of providing hard hats at a jobsite?

The responsibility of providing hard hats at a job site falls to the employer because it is an essential aspect of workplace safety and compliance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations. Employers are required to ensure that all employees have the necessary personal protective equipment (PPE), including hard hats, to mitigate risks of head injuries from potential hazards such as falling objects or accidental bumps in areas where overhead work is being performed. By supplying hard hats, the employer not only fulfills legal obligations but also demonstrates a commitment to creating a safe working environment for all employees. This responsibility also includes ensuring that the hard hats provided meet safety standards and are properly maintained.
