Moulded yellow plastic hard hat used by a worker on the Snowy Mountains Hydro-Electric Scheme

This hard hat was used by a worker on the Snowy Mountains Hydro-Electric Scheme. It reflects the need for protective clothing for Snowy workers and indicates the hard and dangerous nature of work on the Scheme's projects, including construction generally but especially tunnelling.
