What is a safety helmet designed to protect against?

A safety helmet is designed to reduce the risk and severity of workplace head injuries caused by impacts, falling objects and selected overhead hazards. Protection depends on the helmet type, certification and correct use.

How do I choose the right helmet for my workplace?

Begin with a workplace risk assessment. Consider impact hazards, falling objects, electrical exposure, working at height, heat, required accessories and the applicable helmet standard.

Are vented helmets suitable for electrical work?

Ventilation openings may make a helmet unsuitable for electrical applications. Check the manufacturer's certification and select a helmet specifically approved for the electrical risks present.

What do safety helmet colours mean?

Colours are commonly used for role and team identification, but meanings are not universal. Each company should establish a clear helmet colour policy based on its operational requirements.

When should a safety helmet be replaced?

Replace a helmet after a significant impact, when its shell or suspension is damaged, or when it reaches the replacement point specified by the manufacturer. Helmets should be inspected before use.

Can helmet accessories from different brands be combined?

Only use accessories confirmed as compatible by the manufacturer. Unapproved drilling, painting, stickers or incompatible attachments may affect helmet performance.
