- Hard hats are a requirement on-site at most road construction jobs. While the traditional bright yellow hat is common, a number of companies also offer customized construction hats that still meet OSHA requirements. Home improvement stores like Home Depot offer both standard white or yellow hard hats, as well as NFL football-themed hard hats. The NASCAR website offers a Jeff Gordon hard hat
- Work boots are a requirement of nearly all road construction workers, and must be worn while on duty. Work boots quickly become worn and dirty, requiring replacement every one to two years. Steel-toe boots are required for most jobs, and can be found at superstores in the shoe section, as well as shoe stores. Find out the gift recipient's shoe size and brand of choice, or purchase a gift certificate for a store that equals the cost of an average pair of work boots. This is a functional gift that will be greatly appreciated, and used daily while on duty.
- Road construction workers usually eat lunch at the work site, and pack their own lunch in a small, handheld cooler. This makes the perfect gift, as coolers usually endure a lot of wear and tear, requiring a replacement every few years. This is a practical gift that any construction will both appreciate and find useful. Match the cooler with an insulated thermos, and you have the perfect gift set.
- A stuffed teddy bear with a construction worker theme is a perfect novelty gift for any construction worker. APinkPrincess offers a plus teddy bear, designed to be on the job in full uniform, while operating a jackhammer. Equipped with hard hat and all, this adorable stuffed animal even comes with its own carrying case with a construction logo.
