Here's a link to the British Standards Institue, specifically to pages relating to Personal protection equipmet (PPE), for Impact protection.


Impact Protection


It covers most types of helmet....

As for the time & place when they're used, it can be derived from Experience / general practice, some legislation or just be defined from SOP's or risk assesments.
