OUR HISTORY It was back in 1898 when Edward Dickinson Bullard furnished San Francisco gold and copper miners with mining equipment. When his son E.W. Bullard returned from World War I, E.W. and his father worked together to pioneer equipment to keep miners safe in the hazardous mines. In 1919, E.W. invented the Hard Boiled®“hard hat,” inspired by his doughboy army helmet and designed for the specific hazards miners faced. Bullard’s spir it of innovation, design and safety lives within the foundation of our company. Today, Bullard’s safety equipment protects you from the different dangers on the front lines of emergencies, construction, heavy industries, healthcare, and life sciences.

From Hard Hat To Fire Helmet The Hard Boiled®hard hat’s popularity inspired the development of the first fire helmet. Bullard’s spirit of innovation and problem solv ing helped the Golden Gate Bridge engineer team, led by Joseph B Strauss, to adapt Bullard’s hard hats to protect bridge workers. This customer-focused innovation led to Bullard designing the first sup plied-air respiratory system to protect steelworkers blasting the Gold en Gate Bridge. The Spirit of Innovation Lives in Our Past, Present, and Future Bullard has a rich history of solving customer problems in innovative ways, enabling these customers to have long, healthy, and productive lives.
