Safety helmet standards vary by region and application, but they generally include requirements for impact resistance, penetration resistance, and retention system effectiveness. For instance, the European standard EN 397 specifies industrial helmet requirements, while the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard Z89.1 sets criteria for hard hats used in the United States. Compliance with these standards ensures helmets provide adequate protection in hazardous environments.
