Being as there are no instancs to my knowledge of anyone ever suffering any thing landing on their heads on an open excavation I should not worry about out of date hard hats............I would personally ban the wearing of them unless a justifiable risk was present ! Uncomfortable bloody awful things serving no purpose 99.99999999999999999999999999999999 % of the time.....only to have us all looking like clones.....
