Description
The Portwest PS79 bump cap is an innovative and lightweight bump cap designed for professionals who need reliable head protection daily without the weight of a traditional hard hat. This premium model protects the wearer against minor impacts and abrasions while working in tight spaces or warehouses. Thanks to the striking high-visibility color and reflective details, this comfortable cap also ensures you remain highly visible in the workplace at all times.
For which tasks and sectors is this Portwest PS79 bump cap most suitable?
This bump cap is ideally suited for sectors such as logistics, assembly, installation engineering, and light industry. In these work environments, professionals often run the risk of bumping their heads against static objects, such as machinery, shelving, or low-hanging beams.
The model is specifically designed for situations where a standard safety helmet is not legally required, but effective head protection is still desired to prevent minor injuries. The medium-length five-centimeter peak ensures an optimal field of view during daily tasks.
Which safety standard does this bump cap meet and what does this mean for protection?
This model is certified according to the European standard EN 812, the official standard for industrial bump caps. This standard guarantees that the cap protects the wearer against the consequences of bumping the head against hard, stationary objects, which can lead to abrasions or other superficial injuries.
The interior is equipped with a durable, impact-resistant polyethylene shell and high-quality EPP foam lining. Please note that this standard does not protect against falling objects; for that, a safety helmet compliant with EN 397 is required.
For optimal comfort, the cap features an adjustable buckle for a secure fit, extra padding, and multiple ventilation holes with mesh fabric for maximum air circulation.
