Bump caps tend to be list as for low risk areas.

Does any one know if they are OK for the risk of hitting head on ducting when working in a riser?

I offer a qualified yes, as that risk would be similar to those encountered by garage mechanics working under vehicles etc. HOWEVER this would not give adequate protection where there is a risk of objects falling from higher up the service duct.

I second Ron's 'yes'. We use them in exactly the situation you describe. Hard hats for those below.
