Railway Hard Hats
When working on a job site where rail infrastructure is involved, there are separate rules regarding which PPE you should wear. Many of the regulations are related to the colours you can wear, which are carefully chosen so as not to be confused with rail signals.
Our range of railway safety helmets is all available in rail-safe colours. We can also supply most helmets, where needed, with a lamp mounting bracket, making nighttime working a lot easier.
Each rail site may have different requirements, but as an example, Network Rail guidance is that you should wear a hard hat in any area where there is a risk of injury by falling objects. Much of the country's rail infrastructure has overhead bridges, gantries, and signalling equipment, so this covers most of the network.
Any safety hat you purchase to use on the rail network should comply with EN 397 as a bare minimum. Depending on your work, the helmet may need to meet several other standards and criteria. For example, a helmet used around live cables will need to have insulative properties, while a helmet for working at height may require a different grade of harness to one worn at ground level.
