A construction hat is a type of headgear primarily used for safety and protection in construction sites. Others may refer to it as a hard hat, safety helmet, work helmet or site hat. These names all have the same purpose, which is to provide head protection. However, different industries may have specific terms for this type of hat, such as mining hat or engineering helmet. The colors of the hat may vary depending on its meaning. For instance, red helmets usually denote the role of a fire warden, while white helmets are for site managers or supervisors. Nonetheless, whatever term or color it may be, the construction hat remains an essential piece of safety equipment in any construction worksite.
