Which colour helmet is good for you?

Safety helmets are widely used in construction, oil & gas, fabrication, and many other industries. But which color is most effective?

Some studies have shown that white helmets are more visible than other colors and can help reduce the risk of accidents. Other studies have shown that brightly-colored helmets can help improve workers’ confidence and safety compliance. Ultimately, the best color for a safety helmet is the most visible and likely to be seen by other workers.

Purpose

Different colors of helmets are also used for various purposes depending on the situation. Each color of the safety helmet is designed to protect workers differently. By understanding the meaning of each color, construction workers can ensure that they are always wearing the correct type of helmet for the job.

Examples

For example, White — for managers, engineers, or supervisors. Green — for safety inspectors, new or probationary workers. Yellow — for general laborers or earth-moving operators. Blue — for carpenters, welders, electricians, and other technical operators.

Safety

Whatever the color of your helmet, always remember that helmets must be inspected before use for signs of dents, cracks, penetration, and any damage due to impact, rough treatment, or wear that might reduce the degree of protection provided initially and used and maintained following the manufacturer’s instructions.
