Here's why you see hard hats on power lines in B.C.

Mystery solved!

Did you know that the green hard hats you see hanging from electrical wires all over B.C. once belonged to an apprentice power line technician?After taking a year-long technician course, apprentices get to work with BC Hydro, and they wear green helmets.It's at that point that they graduate into wearing white helmets.

And they don’t stay there forever - the next time the line is worked on, the green hard hat comes down. @bcisawesome The mystery of the hard hats in BC. #bchistorywithbobk #trades #powerlines ♬ original sound - BC Is Awesome
