Our drivers can continue to work safely for the next five years with a new safety helmet! Our safety helmets made of high quality ABS polymer (ABS) are replaced every five years according to the guidelines.
To be sure of the protective function of the helmet, we advise our drivers to regularly check the helmet for damage such as deep scratches, cracks, fractures. In the presence of this, we immediately replace the safety helmet.
Normal use safety helmet
In addition, the lifespan of a safety helmet depends on the conditions under which it is used and the material from which the helmet is made. With normal use (during daylight (sunlight) and normal outside temperatures between -5 and 30°C), the strength of the material is reduced to such an extent after about five years that the protective function of the safety helmet is impaired.
Safety helmet suitable for dangerous areas
The design of the MSA V-Gard 520 safety helmet allows for an ideal connection with our earmuffs, visors or the attachment of a headband of MSA goggles with goggle adapter. The built-in rain gutter and short edge provide excellent visibility during outdoor work. The safety helmet has been tested according to EN 13463-1 and is therefore suitable for use in ATEX environments and dangerous zones. The helmet complies with EN 397 (440 V AC) and EN 50365 (1,000 V AC).
