I guess it was easy to introduce because the wearing of helmets on motorcycles has been law for years and years.

I'm pretty sure it was the early 90's. Around the time I was in intermediate school at any rate. Wearing helmets was in *all* schools' school rules for years before it became a legal requirement to wear one. It scares me no end seeing people riding around central London with no helmet!
