Safety helmets & head protection

Head protection should match the work and the hazards identified for the site. Check the exact helmet model and its intended use; the colour or general appearance does not establish its protective performance.

What to check before ordering

  • Ask the site lead to specify the required protection and any applicable performance documentation.
  • Check adjustment, fit and compatibility with eye, hearing and other equipment used for the task.
  • Use only accessories and replacement components approved by the manufacturer for that model.
  • Review inspection, storage and replacement instructions, including what to do after impact or damage.

Prepare your purchasing brief

Provide the approved model or required specification, quantity, size or adjustment requirements and any accessory needs. Flag proposed substitutions for review before ordering. Confirm current availability, pricing and delivery arrangements in the quotation before placing an order.

Plan a site equipment order or plan a bulk PPE order.

Buying questions

Does helmet colour determine protection?

No. Check the exact product’s specification and intended use. Site colour conventions identify roles but do not prove protective performance.

What should a company helmet order include?

Include quantities, approved specifications, compatible accessories and delivery requirements. Request confirmation of available options and documentation.
