ABSTRACT:
A pair of strap retainers are mounted on opposite sides of a safety helmet for securing safety goggles in a storage position. An open slot is formed in each retainer thereby defining a hook about which the goggles strap is retained. The goggles along with the head strap are placed against the crown of the hard hat, and the loops defined on each side of the folded head strap is inserted into the retainer slots. The goggles are securely retained onto the helmet with the head strap following a curved path about the crown between the two retainers. Because the elastic goggles strap is retained within open slots, the goggles strap can be folded and quickly inserted into the slot for storage of the goggles, and can be quickly drawn out of the slot so that goggles can be worn independently of the helmet. Because the goggles are not directly attached to the helmet when worn, eye protection is provided during a blow-back incident since the goggles will remain in place about the wearer's head and will not be pulled away should the safety helmet be forceably removed by the blow-back.
