Milwaukee Tool is introducing two head-protection products for the jobsite—a bump cap and a universal insert that fits into an existing cap. Milwaukee says the devices “offer enhanced head protection while maintaining a stylish, baseball cap-like appearance.”
The cap and insert are designed for environments where hardhats or helmets are not required, but users nonetheless need head protection from user-generated impacts that could result in bumps, abrasions, and punctures.
“Through field research alongside users, we identified feedback surrounding unmet safety needs for service professionals,” said Austin Dorman, Milwaukee Tool senior product manager. “While professionals want to remain safety-focused, many do not work in an environment where typical hardhats are required. Our Bump Caps are optimized for working in confined spaces where professionals run the risk of bumping their head on static objects such as pipes, tabletops, nails, machinery, and other fixed structures.”
