Abstract- – Hybrid composite helmet technologies are now a crucial factor in the creation of household goods and accessories for automobiles. A natural fibre hybrid composite helmet has been developed using materials like banana fibre, coconut coir, luffa fibre, etc., largely for safety purposes. These natural fibres have low costs, a low density, and excellent particular qualities. These are non-abrasive and biodegradable. Due to its unique mechanical characteristics, fibre reinforced materials are now being used more frequently in all technical fields (including automotive, industrial, and medical). Banana, coconut, and luffa fibre are employed as fibre reinforcements in this project. Epoxy resin makes up 62% of the laminates’ weight (616g), along with 7% of hardener(60g), luffa fibre accounts for 15% of the weight (130g), coconut coir for 3% (20g), banana fibre for 5% (44g), and coconut fibre for 10% (70g) and carrying out the penetration test, flammability test, and shock absorption test. In the present work, the epoxy composite based industrial safety helmet has been designed by CATIA V5 software.
