White Hard Hats

The white safety helmet is one of the most popular colours out there because, for most construction sites where head protection is compulsory, the white helmet is the only colour the average worker is permitted to wear. All other colours are banned from construction sites or are reserved for supervisors, visitors and signallers.

What does a white hard hat mean? In line with Build UK’s guidelines, the white hard hat is reserved for ‘competent operators’ as well as site managers and vehicle marshallers. This group of roles covers most roles that are present on a construction site. Other colours can be worn but are reserved as follows;

• Orange - Worn by slingers and signallers who help guide lifting equipment operators.
• Black - Black helmets are reserved only for site supervisors.
• Blue - Vistors and anyone who is not a ‘competent’ operator wears blue.

If you work outside of the construction sector and want a different colour of safety helmet that you can wear outside of the hard hat colour codes outlined by Build UK, then we have what you need.
