Safety Helmets

A helmet, also known as a hard hat, is a type of personal protective equipment (PPE) designed to protect the head from injury, particularly from falling objects, impacts, or electrical hazards. They are commonly used in industries like construction, mining, and manufacturing

Key Features and Purposes:

Impact Protection:

Helmets are designed to withstand impacts from falling objects, debris, or other objects.
Electrical Protection:

Some helmets offer protection against electrical hazards, like those in the form of voltage, and must be insulated to prevent electrical current from passing through the head.
Protection from Debris and Other Hazards:

They can also protect against rain, and may include features like visors and ear defenders for added protection.
Compliance with Standards:

Helmets must meet specific safety standards, such as EN 397 in the UK and Europe, which outline design and performance requirements.
Mandatory in Some Workplaces:

In many industries, including construction and some manufacturing settings, the use of helmets is legally mandated.

Variations and Considerations:

Chin Straps:

Some helmets include chin straps to help prevent the helmet from falling off during an impact or fall.
Materials:

Hard hats are typically made from durable materials like molded thermoplastic.
Color Coding:

Different colors are often used on safety helmets to indicate job roles or departments.
Proper Maintenance:

Helmets should be regularly inspected and maintained to ensure they are in good condition and can provide adequate protection
