Protection of the head is required in almost every industry where restricted headroom, falling objects or working at dangerous heights pose a risk of serious injury. In many workplaces head protection is mandatory and this makes it the main form of personal protective equipment worn by millions of people every day. There is options to wear a standard helmet, Linesman helmet (without peak to improve vision), helmet with visor, helmet with face shield, helmet with neck curtain, helmet with ear defenders or helmets with chinstraps. Depending on the manufacturer, material and type of helmet worn there is a requirement to replace the unit with a new one. The manufactured date is stamped on the inside of the unit and this should be used to plan the replacement. Also if the helmet is scratched, impacted, painted or generally showing signs of wear and tear, then the user should be looking to replace.
