ABSTRACT:
The invention is a protective head gear ("cap") useful for work within hazardous environments, especially within radioactive environments. The protective cap includes: (a) a hood for covering a substantial portion of the head of a user, the hood having a top portion, a rear portion and opposed side portions, (b) a top flap centrally disposed on the top portion of the hood, the top flap being reversibly opened and closed to reversibly accept and retain the lateral support bridge of an audio head set, (c) a pocket disposed on the hood for accepting and retaining a remotely transmitting dosimeter probe and a passive dosimeter, (d) opposed ear openings for exposing the ears of the wearer of the hood so as to allow the wearer to position the ear piece portions of an audio head set over the user's ears, and (e) ear opening flaps for reversibly covering and uncovering each ear opening, each ear opening flap being sufficient in size to cover each ear opening when the wearer is wearing an audio head set.
