Safety Helmet Selection for Industrial and Warehouse Work

What to include in a safety-helmet requirement for construction, warehouse and industrial operating areas.

A safety-helmet requirement begins with the site hazard and work area. Construction, warehouse, maintenance and industrial operations may have different exposure conditions and internal requirements.

State the number of users, preferred suspension type, colour requirements, accessory needs and delivery location. Include any applicable standard or customer specification only where it has been confirmed by the responsible safety team.

Workers should inspect helmets according to the site procedure and replace equipment that is damaged, altered or no longer suitable for the intended use.
