Key features of hard hats with visors
Before buying safety helmets with integrated eye and face protection, consider the following points:
Ear defender compatability
If you need to wear ear defenders while carrying out your job role, you should ensure that your chosen helmet has ear defender mounts.
Eye protection or face protection?
Do you need to protect your whole face or just your eyes? For just the eyes, you'll want integrated eye protection.
Anti-mist
The last thing you want is to be blinded by fog. For this reason, it is important to ensure that your chosen helmet visor has an anti-mist or anti-fog coating.
Respiratory protection compatibility
Do you need to wear RPE while working? If so, you need to ensure that any visor is compatible.
Eyewear retraction
Some of our wide range of helmets feature retractable eyewear where the eyewear is stowed safely out of the way when not needed. Ideal for preventing scratches during storage and transport.
Replacement
Can you replace the lens if needed? Many of our safety helmets have this function, which is essential to prevent premature redundancy.
Integrated RPE
For those who work in environments where a hard hat, RPE, and a full face shield is required, then something like the Powercap from JSP should be a consideration.
Adjustable harness
An internal harness system ensures a gap between your head and the helmet's shell is always maintained. You can adjust the harness to ensure a good fit, which is essential when the helmet has to absorb the energy of an impact. A good six-point suspension system ensures a degree of shock absorption and comfort.
