The Critical Role of Head Protection in Industry

Every year, thousands of workers suffer head injuries, many of which occur in industrial settings. These injuries can have severe physical, emotional, and financial consequences.

That’s why World Head Injury Awareness Day—observed annually on March 20th—is so important. It serves as a reminder of the risks and promotes safety measures that help prevent traumatic brain injuries (TBI).

Why Head Protection Matters in the Workplace

From construction sites to technical rescue teams, workers are exposed to risks such as:

⚠️ Falling objects

⚠️ Slips, trips, and falls

⚠️ Impact injuries from machinery

The right safety helmet can mean the difference between a minor knock and a life-altering injury.

If You Value It, Put a ‘Lid’ on It!

Your brain is your most valuable asset—so why leave it unprotected? At REAX, we believe in a simple principle:

🛑 If you value it, put a ‘lid’ on it.

The Facts: Head Injuries in the Workplace

In 2023/24, there were over 61,663 non-fatal workplace injuries reported in the UK.* While not all were head-related, the importance of proper protection cannot be overstated.

This World Head Injury Awareness Day, REAX is taking action to highlight the dangers of head injuries and promote life-saving safety measures.
