Description
Fundi Pro Helmet for Construction and Industrial Head Protection
The Fundi Pro helmet is designed for workers who require practical head protection in construction, warehousing, manufacturing, maintenance and other industrial environments. It combines a durable plastic outer shell with ventilation openings, an adjustable headband, a sweatband and a chin strap for a secure and comfortable workplace fit.
Identified by the manufacturer as style FP-001, the helmet weighs approximately 339g and is listed as meeting the KS 06-963:1990 safety standard. It is available in white, yellow, blue, orange, green and red, allowing organisations to assign different helmet colours to departments, responsibilities or access levels.
Practical Head Protection for Everyday Workplace Hazards
The Fundi Pro helmet provides basic protection against impacts caused by objects falling from above. Its hard plastic shell is intended to counter and deflect blows that could otherwise reach the wearer’s head.
It also helps protect workers from accidental contact with fixed workplace objects such as scaffolding components, low beams, machinery structures, shelving and building materials. The helmet should be selected and used according to the hazards identified in the organisation’s workplace risk assessment.

Vented Design for Improved Comfort
Ventilation openings permit airflow around the wearer’s head, helping reduce discomfort during warm weather and physically demanding work.
This makes the Fundi Pro helmet suitable for general building, warehouse, maintenance and industrial activities where workers may need to wear head protection for extended periods.
Because the shell is vented, the helmet should not be assumed to provide electrical insulation. Workers exposed to electrical hazards should use a helmet specifically tested and certified for the relevant electrical protection class.
Adjustable Internal Headband
The internal headband can be adjusted to create a more stable fit for the wearer. A correctly adjusted helmet should sit level on the head without excessive forward, backward or sideways movement.
Before entering the work area, the wearer should confirm that:
- The headband is correctly adjusted.
- The suspension is properly attached to the shell.
- The helmet sits securely and comfortably.
- The chin strap is fastened where required.
- The shell has no cracks, deformation or deep damage.
- The internal components are clean and serviceable.
Correct adjustment improves comfort and helps the Fundi Pro helmet remain correctly positioned during ordinary workplace movement.
Chin Strap for Better Helmet Retention
The chin strap helps retain the helmet when the wearer bends, walks, performs maintenance tasks or works in windy outdoor conditions.
The strap should be adjusted firmly enough to keep the helmet secure without causing unnecessary discomfort. A damaged, stretched or missing chin strap should be replaced before the helmet is returned to service.
The presence of a chin strap does not automatically make this a specialist work-at-height helmet. Elevated work may require a helmet with a retention system specifically tested for work-at-height applications.
Sweatband for Long Working Shifts
An internal sweatband improves contact between the helmet suspension and the wearer’s forehead. It can also help manage perspiration during warm conditions or active work.
The sweatband should be cleaned regularly and inspected for deterioration. Replace worn or unhygienic internal parts rather than continuing to use damaged fittings.
Available Fundi Pro Helmet Colours
The Fundi Pro helmet is supplied in six colour options:
- White
- Yellow
- Blue
- Orange
- Green
- Red
Companies may use these colours to identify supervisors, engineers, visitors, emergency teams, general workers or different departments.
Helmet colour coding is not universal. Each organisation should establish its own colour-assignment system and communicate it clearly to employees, contractors and visitors.

Recommended Work Environments
Construction and Civil Engineering Sites
The Fundi Pro helmet can be worn on building sites where workers may be exposed to falling materials, low structures and fixed workplace obstacles.
It is suitable for general contractors, site visitors, tradespeople, supervisors and other personnel entering designated hard-hat areas.
Warehouses and Distribution Centres
Warehouse workers may require head protection in storage areas, loading zones and locations where goods are stacked or moved above head height.
The helmet’s lightweight and adjustable design supports routine use by logistics, loading and inventory teams.
Manufacturing and Workshops
Factories and workshops may use the Fundi Pro helmet in areas containing overhead equipment, suspended materials, pipework, fixed structures or low-clearance machinery.
Maintenance and Installation Work
The helmet is suitable for general repairs, plumbing, equipment installation, property maintenance and non-specialised utility work, subject to the site risk assessment.
Outdoor Projects
It can also be used for landscaping, agricultural maintenance, drainage projects and general outdoor infrastructure work where basic industrial head protection is required.
Selecting the Right Safety Helmet
The Fundi Pro helmet is intended for general construction and industrial head protection. However, different hazards may require helmets with different standards, suspension systems, accessory slots or electrical ratings.
For worksites requiring a ratchet-adjustment system, compare this product with our industrial safety helmets and hard hats.
Projects that specifically require an EN 397 helmet can consider the EN397 safety helmet available in our head-protection range.
Companies that need employee names, logos or organisational identification may also explore our branded safety helmets.
Inspection Before Use
Inspect the Fundi Pro helmet before every working shift. Remove it from service when the shell or internal suspension shows significant deterioration.
Check for:
- Cracks in the outer shell
- Deep cuts or abrasions
- Brittleness or unusual discolouration
- Heat deformation
- Chemical damage
- Loose suspension attachments
- Torn or stretched headbands
- Damaged sweatbands
- Broken chin straps
- Missing internal components
A helmet that has received a significant impact should be replaced even when no obvious external damage is visible.
Cleaning and Storage
Clean the helmet using mild soap, clean water and a soft cloth. Avoid aggressive solvents, petrol, thinners or chemicals that could weaken the plastic shell.
After cleaning:
- Allow the helmet to dry naturally.
- Keep it away from direct heat.
- Store it in a clean, dry location.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not in use.
- Do not place heavy objects on top of the helmet.
- Keep it away from sharp tools and corrosive chemicals.
Do not drill, cut, paint or otherwise modify the shell unless the modification is expressly approved by the helmet manufacturer.
Important Safety Limitations
The Fundi Pro helmet is intended for basic industrial protection against falling objects and accidental contact with fixed workplace hazards.
Do not automatically use it as protection against:
- Electrical hazards
- Molten-metal splash
- Chemical splash
- Extreme temperatures
- Motorcycle impacts
- Cycling impacts
- Specialist climbing hazards
- Work-at-height risks requiring a specialist helmet
