Why are safety helmet colors made striking or bright? Why the safety helmet colors are different? What is the meaning of safety helmet color?
Well, my pro safety buddy, some of you must have seen employees who use safety helmet or helmet project. Of course that comes to mind when you see someone using a helmet is a construction worker or a contractor.
For those of you who have been to a building project also must have seen safety helmet placed in front / behind the vehicle glass. Apparently this has its own meaning, for those who know someone's position in a project, they will know that who is in the vehicle is an engineer or general worker.
If you notice, usually the safety helmet color is placed in front / behind the vehicle glass is a white helmet safety. Why is it white? Because the helmet is only used by people who have high positions, such as engineers, managers, or the management. Therefore, those who wear white helmet safety will be more respected for having high office.
This means the color of safety helmet used to reflect the position or position of someone!
White helmet safety is usually used by engineers, managers, supervisors and foremen
Blue helmet safety is usually used by site supervisors, electrical contractors, or temporary supervisors
Yellow safety helmet is usually used by sub contractor or general worker
Safety helmet green color is usually used by environmental supervisors
Safety helmet pink is usually used by new workers or apprentices
An orange safety helmet is usually used by company guests
Red safety helmet is usually used by the safety officer who is responsible for controlling the safety system already installed and functioning according to predefined standards
The safety helmet classification above is not a standard rule in any country or company. For example, workers in Petronas, employees using yellow safety helmet are the most important division of Operation Department and consist of skilled engineers. Thus, in their company, the yellow safety helmet has the highest grade, while at the building site, the yellow safety helmet is the lowest grade, the general worker.
Whatever the safety helmet colors a person uses, the most important thing is that the function remains the same, which protects the head from the risk of being hit by dangerous objects in the work area. Especially for you who work in height (inboundlink: Tips articles Working on Elevation How to Use Portable Staircase) with high wind conditions, always use chain strip (chin strap) to avoid the helmet that is used off because blown by strong wind.
Greetings safety!
