Choosing the right helmet

Before buying a safety helmet, you should think about the risks involved in the work, as this often determines the characteristics of the helmet and when it should be used. Think about:

  • Workplace conditions
  • How common the risk is
  • How serious the risk is
  • Helmet performance

To ensure that the headgear does not affect your field of vision or mobility, you may want to try different types and models to find the one that works best.

Complete your helmet with ear defenders, goggles, headlamps and visor

It may sometimes be necessary to wear more than one type of equipment at the same time, such as hearing protection, safety glasses, headlamps and visors. To meet the specific requirements of your job, we offer a range of products that you can easily use to complement your helmet. These include:

  • Face shields and visors from Kask and Petzl
  • Headlamps from Petzl
  • Ear muffs from Peltor
  • Mounts that allow the use of Peltor earmuffs in combination with Kask helmets
  • Safety glasses from Bollé

The equipment can be easily combined without affecting the protection capability.

Check the safety helmet

A safety helmet is essential in many professions. Whether you work in construction, forestry, at height or close to those who do, a helmet can protect you from a possible head injury. It is therefore important that you always check your head protection before using it.

 

Changes that may indicate that the protective effect has diminished:

  • Cracks
  • Discolouration
  • Cracking

You should always replace your safety helmet if it has been hit or otherwise damaged.

The life expectancy of a helmet may differ between brands. Therefore, always check the manufacturer's instructions for use. Usually the life expectancy is around 5 years.
