Description
The Portwest Expertbase safety helmet is a reliable safety helmet specially designed for professionals seeking optimal head protection during high-risk work. This helmet is extremely suitable for situations where you may encounter electrical hazards or falling objects. Thanks to its well-thought-out design, this model offers the necessary protection in the workplace without having to compromise on daily comfort during long workdays.
For which specific tasks is this Expertbase safety helmet suitable?
This head protection is excellently suited for construction, industry, and particularly for electrical work. Because the helmet shell is fully closed and has no ventilation openings, the helmet offers optimal safety for electrical applications.
The helmet complies with the EN 50365 Class:0 standard, meaning it provides reliable electrical insulation against alternating current up to 1000Vac or direct current up to 1500Vdc. This makes the model a safe choice for installers and technicians working near live parts.
What do the EN 397 standard and lateral deformation mean for this safety helmet?
The EN 397 standard guarantees that this helmet protects against falling objects at temperatures between -10 degrees and +50 degrees Celsius. The addition of LD stands for lateral deformation, which means the helmet shell offers extra resistance against lateral pressure.
In addition, the 440V a.c. marking indicates that the helmet offers protection against short-term accidental contact with live conductors up to this value. This ensures very complete mechanical and electrical protection in the workplace.
The convenient slip-ratchet system makes the headband easily adjustable. The soft foam sweatband and compatibility with hearing protection and visor holders increase daily ease of use.
