The white U.S. Army Corps of Engineers hard hat on the right with red stripes and castle logo is very distinctive and recognizable on any construction or dam project site. This modern hard hat comes with a chin strap and has an internal suspension that stretches and deforms, absorbs kinetic energy and distributes the force evenly. The rigid shell prevents sharp, heavy, or high-velocity objects such as falling bolts or tools from piercing the helmet. Between 1930 and 1950 the metal hard hat on the left provided USACE employees protection but its conductivity made it dangerous near electrical hazards. Hard Hat Awareness Week is June 8-14, 2026.
