When choosing a helmet, prioritise certified protection (look for EN397 markings for industrial use) and the shell material-impact-modified polypropylene and polyethylene offer proven durability. Check the suspension type (ratchet or cradle) for adjustability and comfort, and consider weight and ventilation if you wear a helmet for long shifts. Compare colours and available sizes if you need identifiable team colours or multiple fit options. Finally, review accessory compatibility (visors, ear defenders) on product pages and confirm sizing with our size guide before purchase.
When comparing helmets, check the product page for current price, available sizes, colours, materials and stock so the final choice matches the job, the wearer and the order budget.

FAQs
What safety standard should I look for in an industrial helmet?
For general industrial head protection check for EN397 certification. Product pages will list applicable standards so you can confirm suitability for your site or task.
How do I choose the right helmet size?
Measure the head circumference and compare it with the product’s size information. Many helmets use adjustable ratchet systems-use our size guides to help select the correct option.
How often should a helmet be replaced?
Replace a helmet immediately if it has sustained an impact or shows visible damage. In normal use, follow the manufacturer’s guidance; many suggest replacement every 3-5 years depending on wear and exposure.
Can helmets be used with ear defenders or face shields?
Compatibility varies by model. Check the product description for accessory compatibility (ear defenders, visors and chin straps) before purchasing to ensure a correct fit.
Are these helmets suitable for construction sites?
Yes-select helmets that meet the required standards for your site (often EN397). Always confirm site-specific requirements and consult the product specifications.
