Advancement in materials for industrial safety helmets

Abstract

The energy absorbing capacity of the safety helmet mainly depends on the materials used for the fabrication of the helmet. The researchers are working vigorously in the material with low weight and excellent mechanical properties that a helmet should have. An attempt has been carried out to light the various materials utilized for the manufacturing of safety helmet. Hybrid fibres are being developed with different combinations to replace the existing materials for the fabrication of the helmet. In this study, a review of the advanced materials developed as an alternative for conventional materials for the Industrial Safety Helmet is done.
