We are honored to be one of the largest manufacturers of industrial safety equipment in the world, one of the products that have great importance in delicacy and sensibility of the production is safety helmet, our first priority is to grant the dearest customers the best modern product available in the market to be a part of a community that cares about human's safety.
Taking safety measures seriously is the first step in every working space which has potential dangers for the workers.
We are aware of the vulnerability of the head, and the necessity for the protection of this body part from the potential dangers such as falling tools and objects while working.
We strongly believe that every piece of safety equipment should be built under certain standard circumstances, a safety helmet must be capable of absorption of the energy that the helmet undergoes.
Standard safety helmets must preserve the head from any potential danger in working spaces.
According to the studies and research in this field, approximately %10 of the accidents in factories and industrial sites is related to the head, and damages to the head will cause irreparable catastrophes.
The raw material utilized in the safety helmets varies depending on the usage and the working space.
Carbon fiber safety helmets are specially made to absorb the energy of the potential impact of the objects on the hat, the material used in this kind of safety helmet is resistant enough to take the damage of the falling impacts with high power.
Plastic-made hard hats have less resistance compared to carbon fiber safety helmets, the advantage of this kind of safety helmet is the good air conditioning for the head, the resistance of these kinds of safety hats depends on the material used inside of the product.
Fiberglass safety helmets are specially made for industrial atmospheres that are involved with hot surfaces and over-heated substances; these types of hats have enough resistance to falling objects but lack good air condition.
Safety Helmet Color Code
Safety helmets are categorized based on their color, every color is especially for a group of people in factories or industrial sites, herewith we mention the colors and the individuals using these particular safety helmets.
- The brown color is specially made for welders and the workers
- The blue color is particularly used for technical operators and electricians
- The green color is used by technical services and safety instructor personnel
- The white color is for engineers and the managers
- The red color for firefighters
- The yellow color is usually used in construction sites for the workers, yellow color is used mostly in construction and industrial places.
Safety Helmet Parts Name
A safety helmet has different parts which we strive to discuss in detail.
Hat or cap: this round shape of the helmet which includes the main part of a safety helmet is usually made of a hard material to preserve the head against the impact of the falling objects, electricity, and rest of the inappropriate circumstances which lead to accidents in the working space.
Shell: this part, in fact, plays the role of the vanguard of the safety helmet, in case of any impacts to the helmet this is the part to take the damage and absorb the energy, thus, this part is usually made of hard and resistant material such as carbon fiber.
Brim: these are the edges of the safety helmets that are made for the protection of the face, shoulders, and neck.
For working in the high altitudes, the brims are considered to be of fewer dimensions for better sight.
Suspension: consists of the bands and belts that keep the distance between the head and the shell, the function of these bands is to absorb the electricity and neutralize it.
Crown straps: cross-shaped bands and belts that are in touch with the top of the head, they are designed to keep the hat stable while walking and to prevent the falling of the hat from the head.
Headband: is a part of the bands inside the hat that with the help of the other bands inside the hat prevents the contact of the head with the shell.
Chinstrap: this is an adjustable band that is fastened around the chin and is considered to prevent the falling of the hat from the head.
Hope strap: this adjustable band is placed on the back of the hat and is used for adjusting the cross-shaped bands without the necessity of putting off the hat.
Sweatband: this is a frontier band that is designed to absorb the sweat, this band must be removable for cleaning and washing.
Peak: is the front part of the hat for protection of the face from potential falling objects Earmuff slots: for installing earmuffs to the ears Winter liner: extra covers that are considered to preserve the head from cold in related weather circumstances.
Reflective band: specially made for the visibility of the user in dark places or nighttime.
Safety Helmet Category
Safety helmets are categorized into two parts from the aspect of the region: the first type is mostly used in the United States of America and preserves the upper parts of the head The second type is designed in Europe and mostly preserves the sides of the head.
Safety helmets are divided into three parts according to the type of occupation.
Class G: these types of safety helmets preserve the head from the impact and are mostly used in mines, factories, and construction sites.
Class E: these safety helmets are specially designed for the resistance against the electricity, the impact of the objects, or exposure to the heat, mostly used in the occupations that are exposed to these sorts of dangers such as electricians and blacksmiths.
Class C: these types of safety helmets have less protection and resistance compared to the first two types and are mostly used in refineries and chemical laboratories.
There are some standards required for safety helmets which are as follows: Standard CFR 1910.135 29 related to the obligations of safety helmets for industrial workers Standard CFR 1926.100 29 related to the obligations of safety helmets for construction workers According to the (OSHA) standards employer is obligated to consider standard safety helmets for all of the workers in case of the possibility of falling objects and the impact on the worker's heads or electric accidents.
