Head Protection: From the Low Doorway to Shed Hygiene
Doorways in older buildings are low, and in the workshop something is always sitting at head height. Proper head protection is not over-cautious, then, it is one of the simplest safeguards there is. You will find bump caps here, an industrial safety helmet and light shed caps that keep hair together and keep your head clean while you work with stock.
Bump Cap or Safety Helmet?
The Kerbl bump cap in black has a PE shell insert and is tested to EN 812. That standard describes bump caps: they soften a knock against a fixed obstacle, but they do not protect against falling objects. As soon as something can come down from above you need the safety helmet to EN 397, the standard for industrial helmets. Its six-point harness spreads the weight over several points, so the helmet sits steadily and does not tip forward when you bend down.
Caps and Headscarves for Work With Stock
For the shed there is the hairtex cap in two versions, one with an elasticated band and one with ties. Both hold the hair together so that nothing ends up in the feed, in the milk or in a running machine. The odour-resistant headscarf for women is the lighter option when a cap gets too warm in summer. The G500 head mount rounds off this category.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between EN 812 and EN 397?
EN 812 covers the bump cap, which absorbs knocks against fixed objects. EN 397 covers the industrial safety helmet, which is additionally designed for falling objects. A bump cap is therefore not a substitute for a helmet.
Will head protection fit everybody?
Helmet and bump cap are adjusted for width with the inner band, so several people can share the same item. The shed caps sit on an elasticated band or ties and need no exact size at all.
How do I clean a cap and a helmet?
Wash the shed caps and the headscarf like ordinary textiles. Wipe the helmet and bump cap down on the outside with water and let the inner harness dry through properly before you put it back on.
Head Protection for Shed, Yard and Workshop
Your head gets in the way surprisingly often: a low doorway in an old building, an open flap on the feed mixer, a shelf board in the workshop. The bump cap with its PE shell insert to EN 812 looks like an ordinary cap and softens exactly those knocks, without you noticing it all day. If something can fall from above instead, reach for the safety helmet to EN 397 with its six-point harness, which spreads the force over a larger area. When you are working with stock it is less about impact and more about hygiene: the hairtex shed caps with an elasticated band or ties keep the hair together, and the odour-resistant headscarf for women stays comfortable even in warm weather. Because almost everything here adjusts for width, the whole team can share the same kit without any fuss.
