I worked at HD Supply hardware for a bit - it’s a commercial oriented hardware store where prices aren’t even posted on the items. PPE is really expensive but companies just buy it anyway - because it’s in the budget. A “conventional” fiberglass/carbon fiber hard hat is already like $150. Cheaper than a claim I’m sure. My only thing is I personally think eye and ear protection may be more “high impact” PPE to focus on. Surely hard hats are important but it’s less of a low hanging fruit than eye/ear - ymmv Edit: also steel shank shoes/boots to prevent penetration from a nail

  Fiberglass/carbon fiber are the high end models of “conventional” hard hats to which im referring. Basic ones can be as cheap as like $20. Style hard hats like ones that look like a cowboy hat are like $300. Edit: “conventional” as being without any newer technology like wavecel
