Actually, there is nothing to do with the color of helmets. It's for the protection of the organization's greatest asset - the head. Though one can use colors for easy identification of persons or employees.
The following colors can be assigned:
- Red: Firefighters or Electricians
- Green: First Aiders or Utility Operators
- Yellow: Workers or All
- White: Staff or Visitors
- Blue: Contract Workers or Casuals
The choice is yours.

Dear SSM,
My suggestion is as follows:
- Employee - White (marked with Name & Blood group)
- Visitors - White (marked as VISITOR)
- Contract Workmen - Yellow
- Safety - Green
- Electrician, Security, Blaster, Driver & Fire - Red
If you are selecting helmets, opt for FRP Helmets. They provide better protection than any other material.
Thank you.

Dear SSM,
Mr. Hami, Mr. Sam, Mr. Sachin, Mr. PBR, and Mr. Dipil have provided a solution to your query. OSHA does not require any particular colors for helmets as per our requirements, and for easy identification, we will use different colors of hard hats. However, OSHA suggests using high-visibility colored hard hats, which is why we mostly use yellow, red, green, and white.
I have heard that EM-385 has some standard colors for hard hats, but I do not have any proof. I mentioned that section below. If anyone has a document specifying standard colors, please share it on this thread to help our EHS professionals. Again, I want to emphasize that I do not have any proof for this; I heard it from my friends. If I do get any documentation, I will share it with everyone.

Very well said, Mr. Sachin Thorat. It's the safety that is more important than colors, and the codes given by him are also perfect. One addition I'd like to make is that some pharmaceutical companies provide helmets to their field sales employees with their logo and a reflector for riding safely at night.

Dear SSB,
You are right; it's only applicable for Corps of Engineers sites. Nowadays, those who work overseas, especially in Afghanistan, Iraq, Africa, Kenya, etc., mostly work with US Corps of Engineers sites. So, if you have that EM-385 document, please share it with us, especially since it would be helpful for me.
