Posted By Tabs 1. Does the cost of a helmet determine the protection that it will give? No, it will be the design that does that. You might pay more for a better design - but not always. 2. Does the colour really Matter? It does to some people - it is used as a way of identifying roles. There may be some colours which are better for reflecting light and heat, and some that might degrade quicker in UV. 3. Do I need to use a six suspension helmet inserts or a four will do? Depends on design and use. If six are provided, all six must be used. 4. The vertical clearance between the 'Helmet Shell' & the 'suspension Harness' is it a place to store stuffs like a safety glass, hand gloves or something else. Bad practice as it will certainly interfere with the designed function during potential compression and absorption of impact force. 5. 'X' person says, I got the helmet issued tome two years ago, I kept it in my house never used it, so what is the harm? Plastics degrade depending on time and environment. Do not trust a hat beyond its date. 6. Do you really know how to inspect the helmets that has been issued to you? Visual inspection? Yes, I hope so. 7. Are you aware what class of helmet should a person wear who works in a construction site? No. - I don't do construction. 8. Does the helmet used by a factory worker and a construction worker vary? Well they shouldn't share (wink) ... possibly, but as I said above, I don't do construction. 9. Are bump caps suitable to be used on a construction site? Yes where the risks are head bumping, and not falling items. So probably after / during second fix ... but probably not during construction / first fix. Am I close? What is the prize? (I already have a hard hat, but a holiday would be nice).
