  • If the Hat Fits, Wear It!

    If the Hat Fits, Wear It!

    If the hat fits, wear it! By Canon Jim Foley Before I put pen to paper let me declare my interests. My grandfather, Michael Foley, was a silk hatter in one of the many small artisan businesses in Claythorn Street that were so characteristic of the Calton district of Glasgow in late Victorian times. Hence my genetic interest in hats of any kind, from top hats that kept you at a safe distance, to fascinators that would knock your eye out if you got too close. There are hats and hats. Beaver: more of a hat than an animal As students for the priesthood in Rome the wearing of a ‘beaver’ was an obligatory part of clerical dress. Later, as young priests we were required, by decree of the Glasgow Synod, to wear a hat when out and about our parishes. But then, so did most respectable citizens. A hat could alert you to the social standing of a citizen at a distance of a hundred yards. The earliest ‘top’ hats, known colloquially as ‘lum’ hats, signalled the approach of a doctor, a priest or an undertaker, often in that order. With the invention of the combustion engine and the tram, lum hats had to be shortened, unless the wearer could be persuaded to sit in the upper deck exposed to the elements with the risk of losing the hat all together. I understand that the process of shortening these hats by a few inches led to a brief revival of the style and of the Foley family fortunes, but not for long.

  • Assessing Next-Generation Construction Helmets

    Assessing Next-Generation Construction Helmets

    Assessing Next-Generation May 2018 Construction Helmets The KASK - Zenith and Superplasma Helmets Skanska’s Advancement In Head Protection Pilot Program Current Status Currently, Skanska uses the MSA V-Gard as its primary choice of hard hat head protection. This hard hat was introduced to the US 56 years ago. The V Guard (and all other regular styles of hard hats) primarily protects against objects striking the crown of a person’s head. This type of head protection offers minimal, if any protection to the front, rear and sides of the head. Comparatively, head protection such as the KASK helmet (not a hard hat) offers much more protection. Although it is listed as Type I head protection, it has passed ANSI Type II impact tests to the front, rear and sides. The Need for Change Skanska USA is investigating the advancements of head protection for employees working on its projects. Helmets being piloted on our projects include products from KASK, MSA Nexius, and 3M X5000. There are many reasons why we are looking to improve the current head protection. The primary reason is the fact that head injuries of all classifications still occur on our projects. These injuries vary on the spectrum of severity, from minimal in nature to catastrophic. Plain and simple: changes in head protection are needed in our industry. Skanska is looking to champion these efforts through an in-depth evaluation of different types of head protection, including the KASK helmets described in this white paper. A thorough list of the reasons for change include: • During any fall incident (slips, trips and falls from the same level, falls from ladders, falls from wall forms, etc.) the current hard hat is prone to fall off a worker’s head prior to impact because of the tendency for the head to “snap backwards,” leaving the head exposed when protection is most needed.

    Promise Beheld and the Limits of Place

    Promise Beheld and the Limits of Place A Historic Resource Study of Carlsbad Caverns and Guadalupe Mountains National Parks and the Surrounding Areas By Hal K. Rothman Daniel Holder, Research Associate National Park Service, Southwest Regional Office Series Number Acknowledgments This book would not be possible without the full cooperation of the men and women working for the National Park Service, starting with the superintendents of the two parks, Frank Deckert at Carlsbad Caverns National Park and Larry Henderson at Guadalupe Mountains National Park. One of the true joys of writing about the park system is meeting the professionals who interpret, protect and preserve the nation’s treasures. Just as important are the librarians, archivists and researchers who assisted us at libraries in several states. There are too many to mention individuals, so all we can say is thank you to all those people who guided us through the catalogs, pulled books and documents for us, and filed them back away after we left. One individual who deserves special mention is Jed Howard of Carlsbad, who provided local insight into the area’s national parks. Through his position with the Southeastern New Mexico Historical Society, he supplied many of the photographs in this book. We sincerely appreciate all of his help. And finally, this book is the product of many sacrifices on the part of our families. This book is dedicated to LauraLee and Lucille, who gave us the time to write it, and Talia, Brent, and Megan, who provide the reasons for writing. Hal Rothman Dan Holder September 1998 i Executive Summary Located on the great Permian Uplift, the Guadalupe Mountains and Carlsbad Caverns national parks area is rich in prehistory and history.
