With climate change becoming an everyday reality, the company that invented the hard hat is redesigning their product line. Bullard is incorporating components like moisture-wicking brow pads into hard hats geared for firefighters, or a fiberglass composite shell that makes it one of the lightest on the market without compromising on protection. For construction workers, Bullard offers newer products to provide quick relief from heat, such as a vest that keep the body cool for up to four hours by maintaining a constant temperature of 55° F. The company has already been making respirators for workers, but after Covid-19, it developed a lightweight hood with a clear face shield that covers the entire head. It also comes with a tube for air supply. The hood, which offers a hundred times the protection of an N-95 mask, has been adopted by doctors and nurses in Covid-19 wards around the world.
