From Mill No. 4 at Chemainus, B.C.. Built in 1925 by the Victoria Lumber & Mfg. Co., Mill No. 4 was bought c. 1944 by H.R. MacMillan, and operated as a MacMillan business (becoming, after 1951, MacMillan Bloedel) until 1982, when it was closed and dismantled. In 1984 a new and modern mill was built in Chemainus: as of 2001, it was still in operation. In social and economic terms., Mill No. 4 represents the apex of industrial development in Chemainus, in a sector of paramount importance to both the community and the province. Maximum production was 1 million board feet of lumber, over a 24-hr period, with three continuous shifts employing a total 1000 people. (The current mill employs 150 people and processes about 450,000 board feet a day) Mill No. 4 was also a part of an industrial continuum with roots dating back to the pioneer period of settlement on Vancouver Island. (Ref. 1) According to the Employee Information Handbook, all workers at the Chemainus sawmill were required to have a hardhat, and to wear it in most areas. The 1979 version of this Handbook stipulates that hardhats were to be worn in all areas. Like hardhats, hearing protection devices were supplied at no cost to workers. In some areas of the mill, the wearing of hearing protection devices was mandatory. (ref. 2)

Fonction

Provides wearer with limited protection from cuts, scrapes or trauma to head due to falling objects. This hat fitted with hearing protectors, which offer user limited hearing protection from excessive noise.

Technique

Hardhat fitted with suspension system, allowing better fit and ventilation. Ridges on crown and rim deflect sunlight and precipitation. Hearing protector "muff"s mounted on swivel adaptor, so they can be moved out of the way when not required. White hardhats were worn by operators and sawfilers at Chemainus. Supervisors wore green hardhats; electricians wore yellow ones; and grey hardhats were worn by steam and pipefitters.(Ref. 4)
