Meet the American who invented the hard hat, a proud symbol of our nation’s working class

“‘Just a real open-minded, creative, warm-hearted, very smart person. He had a real passion for protecting workers, for advancing worker safety.’ His legacy lives on today in the success of many of the nation’s most ambitious construction protects — and in the daily experience of millions of hard-hat workers from coast to coast. Americans purchase about 6 million new construction hard hats each year, according to industry sources.” Fox News, July 29, 2022
