Abstract :This article presents the effects of helmet colors from protective clothing on the thermal protection factor under natural radiation. Thermal exposure distributions were measured using a thermal camera to determine the sun protection effectiveness of helmets under various exposure conditions. Increasing the thermal comfort of the hard hat, which is a work safety protective clothing, has become one of the biggest areas of interest of hard hat designers. Helmets protect human health by providing simple and useful protection against natural radiation rays. To identify the effect of the colors of the helmets, temperature distributions were detected using a thermal camera. White color is important for human health as it has the greatest effect on the thermal protection factor of helmets, which are protective clothing. In this study, recommendations for the engineering of hard hats, which are protective clothing with adequate thermal protection, are presented. Experimental results of white, blue and yellow colored helmets have been determined.
