The Portwest PG54 safety helmet is an innovative and reliable safety helmet specially designed for professionals working in high-risk environments with electrical installations. This head protection combines excellent mechanical protection with a unique visibility feature for working in the dark. Thanks to the absence of ventilation openings, this model offers optimal safety when exposed to electrical voltage, making it an essential piece of personal protective equipment for electricians and installers.
For which specific tasks and sectors is the Portwest PG54 safety helmet suitable?
This safety helmet is ideally suited for the energy sector, installation technology, and utility construction where there is a risk of electrocution. Thanks to the closed helmet shell without ventilation openings, the helmet is safe to use for electrical applications.
In addition, this model is ideal for work in the dark or in poorly lit areas. The photoluminescent additive ensures that the helmet glows in the dark, which significantly increases the wearer's visibility and safety during night work or power outages.
What do the EN 397 and EN 50365 standards mean for this safety helmet?
The EN 397 standard guarantees that the helmet provides protection against falling objects at extreme temperatures from -30°C to +50°C, is resistant to lateral deformation, and protects against electrical contact up to 440Vac.
The EN 50365:2023 Type B Class 0 standard indicates that the helmet is electrically insulating for use on low-voltage installations up to 1000Vac or 1500Vdc. This makes the helmet extremely reliable for work where direct contact with live parts is possible.
The 6-point textile harness and the convenient ratchet system ensure a comfortable, adjustable fit. The helmet is also compatible with various ear defenders and visor holders.
