Proper head protection is critical on professional job sites and in the recreational arena. This is where a hard hat or safety helmet comes into play. Used together with ear defenders and eye protection, you can have extensive protection while carrying on with work.

Hard Hats and Safety Helmets at MTN Shop
A hard hat or safety helmet is one of the most important pieces of personal protective equipment for anyone working at height, on a construction site or in an industrial environment. It protects the head against impact, falling objects and, depending on the model, electrical hazards. Choosing the right helmet means matching it to the work, the environment and the safety standards required for your industry.
Hard hats vs safety helmets
A traditional hard hat protects mainly against objects falling from above and usually has no chin strap. A modern safety helmet, such as those designed for work at height, includes a chin strap to keep it securely in place during a fall or in high winds. For climbing, rope access and work at height, a helmet that meets EN 12492 is generally preferred, while EN 397 covers industrial hard hats for general site use.
Choosing the right helmet
- Work at height: choose a helmet with a secure chin strap that meets EN 12492 to stay in place during a fall.
- General site and groundwork: an EN 397 industrial hard hat provides reliable impact and falling object protection.
- Electrical work: select a helmet rated for the electrical hazards present in your task.
- Forestry and arborist work: an all in one helmet with a visor and ear defenders protects the head, eyes, face and ears together.
Complete your head protection
Head protection often works alongside other PPE. Pair your helmet with ear defenders for hearing protection and eye protection for the eyes and face. We sell hard hats and accessories from trusted brands including Kask and Petzl.
