Is it mandatory to wear a helmet or cap?
The obligation for employees to use the provided head protection is derived from § 30 "Use" of DGUV Regulation 1 "Principles of Prevention".
Accordingly, employees must use personal protective equipment as intended, regularly check its proper condition, and immediately report any defects to the employer.
Do helmets and bump caps fall under legal regulations?
DIN EN 397
The basic requirements for safety helmets set out in DIN EN 397 include shock absorption, penetration resistance, chin strap attachment, and flame resistance. They protect the wearer from falling objects and mechanical impacts, thus preventing potential consequences.
The EN 397 standard also includes protection against lateral deformation of the helmet. The safety helmet should provide protection at very low temperatures (down to -20/-30 degrees Celsius) and also at very high temperatures (up to 150 degrees Celsius).
According to EN 397, safety helmets must be marked. The standard must be on the helmet, along with the name and mark of the manufacturer, the year and quarter of manufacture, the helmet type, the size, and size range (head circumference in cm), as well as an abbreviation of the helmet material. Additionally, the helmet must be compatible with other accessories (such as hearing protection, face protection, etc.).
