construction helmet

Builder's head protection

A construction helmet is a hard protective hat worn on building sites and in industrial settings, designed to shield the head from falling objects and impacts.

Also called a hard hat.

The bright colors—often yellow, orange, or white—increase visibility and may indicate the wearer's role: The foreman's white construction helmet stood out among the yellow ones.
