Reflective safety helmet / Zarith Azrain Harris Andria and Nor Asma Hafizah Hadzaman

In this modernised era of construction, high number of accidents are still occurring in Malaysia’s construction industry. Safety helmets are a necessary component of protection equipment on a construction site to prevent head injuries caused by falling objects or the force of a lateral collision. The aim of this study is the development of a reflective safety helmet. This innovation project is important in protecting the well-being of construction workers. The purpose of this study is to develop a reflective safety helmet design idea, construct a simulated prototype based on an improvised design, demonstrate the performance of the prototype, and showcase the entrepreneurial skills in proposing it. The methodology of the study includes literature reviews, desk studies, and simulations as the primary data collection techniques. Assembly process, functional system, practicable approaches, and comfort of the product are the four critical approaches that need to be evaluated in the study. The research objectives have been met, and the results and findings have been successfully determined. These include the current issues and problems, as well as the innovative product called the Reflective Safety Helmet. this study covers its proposed assembly process, performance evaluation, and marketing potential.
