Are safety helmets mandatory in Kenya?

Yes. According to the Traffic Act and occupational safety regulations in Kenya, it is mandatory for motorcycle riders, passengers, and workers in hazardous environments to wear safety helmets. Employers are also required by the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) to provide helmets where necessary.

What types of safety helmets are available in Kenya?

In Kenya, the common types include: • Industrial Safety Helmets – used in construction, manufacturing, and mining. • Motorcycle Helmets – for boda boda riders and motorcycle users. • Bicycle Helmets – for cyclists and delivery riders. • Climbing Helmets – for utility and tower workers.

How do I choose the right safety helmet?

Consider the following: • Work environment (construction, electrical, road safety, etc.) • Helmet material (polycarbonate, ABS, etc.) • Certification (e.g., KEBS, ANSI, EN397) • Fit and comfort – adjustable straps and suspension systems • Additional features – ventilation, face shield, earmuffs

Where can I buy safety helmets in Kenya?

You can purchase safety helmets from: • Local PPE stores • Hardware and construction supply shops • Online platforms like Jumia, Copia, or specialized safety equipment websites • Authorized dealers and distributors

How much does a safety helmet cost in Kenya?

Prices vary based on the type and quality: • Basic industrial helmets: KSh 300 – KSh 1,000 • Motorcycle helmets: KSh 1,500 – KSh 5,000+ • High-grade helmets (with visors, earmuffs, etc.): KSh 3,000 – KSh 10,000+
