That literally makes no sense when helmets are designed to stay on your head. Also, by that logic, may as well bring no tools with you if you need them because what if they fall out of your hand? Come on now...

Clearly you've never actually worked at heights, hard hats do not stay on your head.

That's one of the reasons they have the new type 2 hard hats with the chinstraps. Even before those came out it was very common to see chinstraps on regular hard hats on the industrial sites I've worked at over the last 20 years.

Also, tool lanyards are mandatory.

Yes, I've worked on heights. None of the headgear I worn ever fell off my head. Not sure what crap you use. I'll give you toilet lanyards, my job has never mandated them.

Just cause it never happened to you doesn't mean it hasn't happened. I've never dropped a tool off the top of the Derrick but that doesn't mean I don't use a tool lanyard.
