Hard Hats With Chin Straps

Hard Hats With Chin Straps

Hard hats with chin straps are now required on more sites than ever before, and for good reason. In the event of a fall, a hard hat without a chin strap can go flying, leaving you unprotected. When worn with a properly specified and adjusted chin strap, the helmet is more likely to stay in place and protect your head from hitting the floor. Be sure to check what specification of hard hat you need. Shop now, with next-day delivery on in-stock items.

  • About Hard Hats With Chin Straps

    If you work at height or around deep excavations, a chin strap hard hat is essential. A chin strap fitted to your hard hat ensures that your head protection stays in place properly in the event of a fall, improving your safety significantly.

    All our industrial climbing helmets and linesman-specific helmets come complete with chin straps. In these roles, the chances of taking a fall are elevated, so it makes sense that manufacturers would fit them with a chin strap. Hard hats with chin straps are also essential for wind farm workers, solar panel installers, miners, window cleaners, forestry workers, and scaffolders.

    It is worth being aware of the different chin strap standards. In some applications, such as mining, you may need a breakaway chin strap purposely designed to release with any force between 150 and 200 Newtons. Other chin straps are designed to be “unbreakable”, allowing multiple falling items to strike the helmet without knocking it off.

    Types of hard hat chin strap

    When buying a hard hat with a chin strap, there are several formats of straps to be aware of. Some are specific to certain manufacturers, and others are universal. Images anti-clockwise from top left:

    2-point chin strap: As the name suggests, these straps have 2 attachment points to the hard hat.

    4-point chin strap: 4-point attachment straps have 4 locations where they anchor to the helmet. This helps the helmet retain its position more securely, reducing front-to-back movement.

    EN12492 chin straps: When working at height, a strap that complies with EN12492 should be used. This standard requires that the strap does not fail when you need it the most.

    EN397 / EN50365: When working at ground level, the chinstrap should break away when subjected to a load that may otherwise cause strangulation or entrapment. This is between 150 and 250 Newtons.

    Inspect your head protection every time you use it, and replace a damaged chin strap immediately. Buy replacement straps and harnesses in our helmet accessories collection.
