Protective clothing
On a building site, it’s important that all staff and visitors wear protective clothing at all times.
- Contracted or sub-contracted employees should use their own branded protective clothing.
- NHS employees and NHS visitors must use NHS-branded protective clothing, including an NHS-branded safety helmet and an NHS-branded fluorescent tabard, vest or jacket.
The relevant NHS organisation is responsible for providing any protective clothing at its own cost. Make sure that all protective clothing complies with health and safety and other site regulations.
Safety helmets
Our preferred safety helmets are white with the standard blue NHS logo.
If the standard helmets are not available, use the NHS blue safety helmets with a reversed-out NHS logo.
