Morphology
The meaning 'a protective helmet worn to prevent head injuries' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'safety' (protection from danger) with 'hat' (a head covering). This noun–noun modifier pattern is straightforward and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the intended meaning.
Etymology
Safety hat is a name for a hard hat used for safety on building sites; workers wear it to stop falling tools or other objects from hitting their heads. So safety hat means 'a light, protective helmet worn to prevent head injuries'.
