Industrial safety helmets are critical personal protective equipment (PPE) that workers wear to protect their heads from impact and penetration injuries. To ensure optimal protection, it is important to choose a helmet that fits properly. In this article, we will discuss the various sizes and fit options for industrial safety helmets.
Sizes:
Industrial safety helmets typically come in three different sizes: small, medium, and large. However, some manufacturers may offer additional sizes or custom sizing options to accommodate workers with different head sizes and shapes.
Small helmets are designed to fit head circumferences ranging from 50 cm to 55 cm, while medium helmets typically fit head circumferences ranging from 55 cm to 60 cm. Large helmets are intended for head circumferences ranging from 60 cm to 65 cm.
Some manufacturers may use a different sizing system, such as small/medium/large or extra-small/small/medium/large/extra-large, so it is important to refer to the manufacturer's sizing chart when selecting a helmet.
Fit Options:
Adjustable suspension systems: Many industrial safety helmets feature an adjustable suspension system that allows workers to customize the fit to their head size and shape. The suspension system typically includes a headband, crown straps, and nape straps that can be adjusted to create a snug, comfortable fit.
Ratchet adjustment: Some helmets may have a ratchet adjustment system, which uses a wheel or knob to adjust the suspension system. This allows workers to adjust the fit with one hand quickly.
Pinlock adjustment: Another type of adjustment system uses pins that lock into place, allowing workers to adjust the fit of the helmet quickly and easily.
Replaceable sweatband: Industrial safety helmets often come with a removable and replaceable sweatband that can help wick away sweat and keep the helmet comfortable and dry. Workers can replace the sweatband if it becomes worn or damaged over time.
Chin strap adjustment: The chin strap is a crucial component of the helmet that helps keep it securely in place. The chin strap should be adjustable to ensure a comfortable fit, and workers should check it regularly to make sure it is properly adjusted.
Custom fitting: Some manufacturers offer custom fitting options for industrial safety helmets. This may involve taking a scan or mold of a worker's head to create a helmet that fits their head shape perfectly. This option can provide an optimal fit for workers who have difficulty finding a comfortable helmet off the shelf.
In conclusion, choosing the right size and fit for an industrial safety helmet is crucial to ensure that it provides optimal protection. Workers should select a helmet that fits their head size and shape, and ensure that the suspension system, chin strap, and other components are adjustable and comfortable. Employers should provide training on how to properly adjust and wear helmets to ensure that workers are protected from head injuries in the workplace.
