FAQs

  • Head protection PPE is items that are suitable for keeping the head safe from injury during work tasks. 

    Common head protection includes:

    • Accessories: Items that can be attached, i.e., chin straps
    • Bump caps: Suitable for tasks with a low risk of impact injuries
    • Safety helmets: Hard hats that protect against impact and collisions
    • Specialist safety helmets: Designed for tasks that require extra protection
  • You can shop for head protection on the SMI store! 

    You’ll find products to suit all your PPE and workwear needs.

  • Head protection is required whenever there is a risk of injury to the head. 

    Any of the following workplace hazards can result in head injury:

    • Falling objects
    • Slipping or tripping
    • Exposure to electrical currents
    • Bumping into machinery or equipment at head height

    Use a risk assessment to identify risks and the required PPE to protect against them.

    Head protection PPE is often required in these industries:

    • Construction
    • Manufacturing
    • Mining & drilling
    • Forestry & lumber
    • Electrical services
  • Head protection PPE in the UK is designed to meet specific safety standards for different work environments:

    • EN 12492 - Helmets for working at height
    • EN 50365 - Electrical insulation for work near live circuits
    • EN 397 - Hard hats for impact and penetration resistance

    All head protection sold by SMI meets the relevant standard, so you can be confident your team is protected on site.

  • Bump caps offer lightweight head protection, suitable for protecting against minor impact injuries.

    Hard hats like safety helmets offer a higher, more resistant level of head protection. They should be used on worksites where a high risk of severe head injury is present.
