Construction Helmet:

A construction helmet, commonly known as a hard hat, is a critical piece of personal protective equipment (PPE) designed to safeguard the head of workers on construction sites and in other hazardous environments. It provides protection against impacts, falling objects, debris, and electrical hazards. The use of construction helmets is a fundamental safety practice in the building and infrastructure industries, where the risk of head injury is high due to overhead work, machinery operation, and dynamic site conditions.

Construction helmet are typically made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polycarbonate, or fiberglass, materials known for their strength, durability, and impact resistance. The outer shell of the helmet is designed to absorb and deflect the force of falling objects or blunt impacts, while the inner suspension system—often made of adjustable webbing or foam—creates a gap between the shell and the wearer’s head. This suspension system acts as a shock absorber, distributing the impact force more evenly to minimize injury.
