(check the HSE website, there's nowt about them going out of date, one of Jack's favourite Facts ) - afraid its all a con by the manufacturers to make people keep buying the things. Hardhats are same Class 2 plastic as most bottles, and I haven't noticed supermarket shelves flowing with gloop as a result of the labels eating their way through...and b****r me, the solvents I use for cleaning paintbrushes seem to be in a hard-hat bottle! The worst thing for those types of plastics is the UV in sunlight, so logically hardhats should only be worn in the cabin with the shutters up (as with so many things)....
I bliddy well knew it! Them cabins is well dangerous though.
