The Turtle Club® A Tradition Continues

Membership requirements for The Turtle Club® are the same today as they were in 1946. Men and women who have escaped serious injury by wearing hard hats can be nominated for membership by their supervisor or company safety director. Each new member receives a new hard hat, membership certificate, membership card, Turtle Club® pin, and Turtle Club® decal. There are no dues or membership fees. A Dedication to Safety Members of the club pledge to “Practice safety, wear head protection when necessary, and to conscientiously encourage others to do so.” This pledge, though more than 65 years old, is just as important today as it was six decades ago.

Joe Navarrete, Bullard Turtle Club® Member:

“While rigging combustion turbine air and fuel line piping on the bed of a pitman boom truck, Joe Navarrete’s foot slipped. As he stood up to regain his balance, he stepped off the edge of the truck bed, landing on his right knee, left elbow, and his head. He stood up after the fall, actually returned to work the next day, sore and bruised but definitely happy that his Bullard hard hat saved his life.”
