This PSA-style film from the 1970s titled “Use Your Head” was presented by the Construction Safety Association of Ontario to eliminate occupational head injuries on construction sites. The film discusses the benefits of consistent wear and usage of the construction hard hat, the different available models of hard hats, as well as how to properly take care of your hard hat. Additionally the film briefly touches on the history of protective headgear from the Vikings to the Trojans to military helmets from World War I. This film was produced by Toronto, Canada based production company Rabko. The film was produced in a low-cost method, using still frames of photographs to achieve a narrative, so that is feels like a slideshow.
