Grey Helmet: Interns and Temporary Personnel

The grey helmet is typically used by interns, trainees, and sometimes temporary workers on construction or industrial sites. This color indicates that the wearer is still in the learning phase and may be performing tasks under supervision or observation. It also reminds other workers to be more attentive and supportive when interacting with these individuals.

Common Uses of Grey Helmets:

• Interns and Students: Students from technical high schools or university programs who are receiving hands-on training typically wear grey helmets.

• Temporary Workers: Employees who are hired for short-term or project-based roles are often given grey helmets.

• New Starters: Newly hired employees who have not yet completed their full orientation may wear grey helmets until they gain more experience.

Advantages of Grey Helmets:

• Helps experienced workers communicate more cautiously and guide inexperienced personnel.

• Supports a safer training process for interns and new employees.

• Clearly identifies who is still in the learning or observation stage.
