What are the options for safety helmets?
Your head is one of the most vulnerable parts of your body from which your entire body is controlled. It is mandatory to wear a safety helmet in many situations. On construction sites and other places where cranes are used, for example, but also at many production companies. If you accidentally hit your head, or tools or building materials fall on your head, a safety helmet will provide you with the protection you need to protect against brain injury or skull fracture. A good safety helmet is not too heavy and has a pleasant, adjustable fit on the inside. It is also important that a construction helmet stays in place when you wear a hat underneath. Then you can carry out your work with a safe feeling, even when it is cold outside.
The brim prevents the sunlight bothering you on sunny days. But if your work requires you to look up a lot, it can also get in the way of your vision. That is why we also offer safety helmets with a short brim through our webshop. Most safety helmets in our range are equipped with a chin strap. This should not extend over the ears. Does the model you have in mind not have a chin strap? Then you can buy these separately. For the comfort of the helmet, it may also be useful to place a (cotton) sweatband against your forehead. Just like the chin straps, you can purhcase these individually or in larger volumes.
When you think head protection, you think safety helmets. And that is not surprising, because safety helmets are a particularly effective means of protecting your head against injuries caused by bumps or objects falling on it. If there is an increased risk of these types of accidents in your working environment, there is a good chance that wearing a safety helmet is mandatory in your company. This is the case in construction, for example. A helmet must also be worn at work during many production activities. You can go to the Unishore Workwear webshop for good safety helmets from renowned brands such as OXXA, 3M, Uvex, Petzl and MSA. Then you can be sure that your head is well protected for the best possible price.
Protective safety helmets
Even if the risk of a head injury is not as great as in construction or production, it may still be advisable to wear a good safety helmet while performing your work. In that respect, it is good to know that safety helmets must meet certain guidelines. Because these guidelines are regularly adjusted to developments that take place in the industry and the materials can age, safety helmets cannot be used indefinitely. Therefore, a helmet must indicate the model, manufacturer and date of production. In addition, every safety helmet comes with a manual to help you adjust the size correctly, so that the helmet fits directly on the head both horizontally and vertically.
A good safety helmet has an adjustable headband. This offers you the opportunity to wear the helmet in a way that is as comfortable as possible for you and you can also easily adjust the helmet. For example, if you wear a hat underneath. If necessary, it is possible to combine a safety helmet with hearing protection – M-Safe makes ear muffs that can be attached to a helmet.
Types of safety helmets
Safety helmets come in different types. This is because every working environment has different risks. A simple construction helmet offers sufficient protection against impacts and anything that could fall on top of the helmet. But if your work requires you to look up a lot, we strongly recommend purchasing a safety helmet with a short brim. This can be a major advantage in construction. You will find both variants in our range. We only sell the best quality construction helmets. Do you need advice on choosing the right type of safety helmet? Then email our expert customer service. We are happy to help you, because we want you to choose the safety helmet that best suits your working conditions.
Depending on the nature of your work, it may also be necessary to attach a face shield to the helmet. Such a screen provides protection against flying dust, wood chips or even splashes of liquid chemicals. Face shields are easy to attach to a safety helmet. This also applies to ear muffs and sweatbands. All these accessories for your safety helmet can be ordered in our online shop.
