Safety helmet for working at height

Work at height training specialist Eurosafe Solutions is reported to have seen a major increase in sales of the Vertex ST helmet, which has been specifically designed to offer protection to those working at height.

Andy Jennings, training manager at Eurosafe Solutions, said: "This helmet is proving extremely popular with customers on our training sessions, as it has a wide range of features which make it comfortable and suitable for many types of work. It is well suited to those working in hazardous or industrial conditions, providing workers with the level of comfort and protection they need." Unlike standard construction helmets, which if not worn with correctly fitted chin straps can have a tendency to fall from the user's head when bending or in the event of a fall, the Vertex helmet remains comfortably secured on the head due to its six-point mesh headband. This can be easily adjusted, but keeps it centred on the head and also offers shock absorption, which is achieved through deformation of the outer shell.

The Vertex ST is designed to accept hearing protection, a visor or headlamp, which can easily be fitted within a few seconds.

The helmet's unventilated shell ensures protection against electrical risks and molten splash.
