I think its a different type of helmet you need for climbing. The climbing ones are a bit different and have a strap to keep it on your head. A building site helmet would likely fall off your head if you had a tumble.

If you're only going to buy a cheap one aren't you wasting your money????
If you're wearing it to protect you if you fall 50ft+ then I don't beleive something that cost £3 is going to do the job.
Just a thought............
