Head protection is an important safety equipment designed to protect the head from injury. It is usually made of a sturdy material such as plastic, fiberglass or metal and is designed to absorb shock and reduce the impact to the head.

There are different types of head protection used depending on the specific requirements and work environments. Examples of head protection equipment include safety helmets, hard hats for sports, climbing helmets, protective caps for construction or industry, and specialized helmets for motorcycling, cycling or horse riding.

Head protection is especially important in work environments where there is a risk of head injury, such as construction sites, industrial plants, mining, road construction and other hazardous areas. Correct selection and proper fitting of head protection is critical to ensure adequate safety. It is also important to regularly inspect, maintain and, if necessary, replace head protection to ensure it can fulfill its protective purpose.
