construction helmets
Builder head protection
Construction helmets are hard hats worn on building sites to protect workers from falling objects and head impacts.
The term is interchangeable with hard hats, though construction helmet sounds slightly more formal: Everyone on site must wear a construction helmet.
They're typically made of high-density plastic with an internal suspension system.
