The use of appropriate head protection is vital in all kinds of industries and is heavily governed by HSE legislation. Whether you're operating in construction, chemical processing, engineering the automotive sector, or any other risk intensive environment, you need to consider head protection.

Your choice comes down to two options: safety helmet or bump cap. Generally, you need a safety helmet in any industry where there's a risk of being struck and injured by falling objects. In lower risk areas, such as spaces with height restriction where someone could bump their head, a bump cap might be best.

The important things to think about are:

  • Standards - products must meet the relevant EN standard
  • Comfort - weight, ventilation, sweatbands and so on
  • PPE connectivity - you might have to use other face or hearing protection with the headgear
  • Wearer appeal - it's important that people are happy to wear the head protection: it must look right as well as feel comfortable
