About Hard Hats with Heart
Building a Healthier Workforce
Hard Hats with Heart is an industry-specific initiative from the American Heart Association dedicated to improving the cardiovascular health of those working within the construction industry. The campaign’s focus is to integrate health, well-being, and prevention solutions into industry culture.
BENEFITS OF PARTICIPATING IN HARD HATS WITH HEART
Educate
Hard Hats with Heart educates employees about the signs, risks and ways to prevent heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and cholesterol.
Reduce Risk
To help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, employers can implement initiatives such as providing healthy food options, promoting physical activity during breaks, implementing stress-reducing programs and providing CPR education and training.
Create a Safer Work Environment
Together, we can create safer working environments where healthy habits are adopted, where workers feel confident to perform CPR and where more lives are saved.
Celebrate Change
Heart Hats with Heart culminates in your city with an annual celebration bringing together construction professionals across multiple channels of building and development. This highly anticipated event allows attendees to come together and celebrate lives impacted through this initiative.
