Do you know if the safety helmet you are wearing is a hard helmet or a soft helmet?

Safety helmets are widely used in life, so there are many types, and there are many ways to divide them, such as by function, by application industry, and so on.

So, do you know the difference between soft and hard helmets?

Materials: Hard helmets are usually made of rigid plastics such as ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene), while soft helmets are usually made of soft plastics such as polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP) .

Structure: The hard helmet shell is thicker and has a solid structure, usually consisting of multiple shell layers, which can provide better protection. The shell of the soft helmet is thinner, the structure is relatively simple, and usually only has one shell layer, which cannot provide the same protective performance as the hard helmet.

Weight: Due to differences in material and construction, hard helmets are usually heavier than soft helmets.

Comfort: Soft helmets are usually lighter and more comfortable than hard helmets, making them suitable for long-term wear.

So in summary, hard helmets are usually used to provide higher safety protection performance for high-risk occupations, such as construction workers, electric workers, etc.; soft helmets are usually used for low-risk occupations, such as factory workers, waiters wait. However, when choosing a safety helmet, you should choose the appropriate type according to the specific situation and working environment to ensure safety and comfort.
