Identity segregation ON-SITE by way of Helmet colours
Some organization uses different helmet colours to differentiate between managements and employees. Employees are further differentiated based on their profession.
Some of the colours are:
White: Engineers, Management, Supervisors and Formen.
Blue: Electrician, Carpenter and Technical operators
Red: Fire Fighters
Gray: Site visitors
Green: Safety officers
Yellow: Labourers and Earthmoving operators
Brown: Welders and workers with high heat application
It is believed that this segregation affects compliance to the use of this helmet on-site.
Segregation is seen as one of the reasons workers do not use helmet on site.
In your experience, do you think this segregation is NECESSARY?
If it is necessary, what can be done to improve the use of helmet in organizations that implements segregation using helmet colours?

Good Post. I really didnt know the details of segregation but it is a nice idea. To curb the non-use, I am of the opinion that no segregation should be done on the hard hats issues as the protection is universal not color coded. The quality and design (How it is comfortable to wear) should be the primary focus during hard hats usage

It’s important that everyone feels equally important. It’s the synergy of efforts by professionals of the different fields that makes a company successful. Having said that, any professional that feels segregated because of a different color of hard hat is not proud of what he does. He is petty and should be penalized.

So everyone should be proud of his/her profession
