Senior Member mmhce Posted August 9, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted August 9, 2009 I understand your situation. I too worked in construction. And the harness on those helmets are meant to be fitted (with adjustable slots) so that your helmet doesn't fall off your head. Riggers working at heights have the chin straps. If your helmet falls off, it could be a safety violation. But to answer your question, perhaps you can put a bandana on (around your head, and under your helmet) to mitigate any tension of the harness straps on your excision line. Additionally, you may need to be concerned about the dust and exposure to direct sunlight in your line of work, and how this could possibly affect your healing tissues. take care...

Senior Member mmhce Posted August 9, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted August 9, 2009 Well, if you can get away with carrying the helmet under your arm, you can just use the loose fitting baseball cap, being careful as to how you put it on and take it off. take care...
