Indicates when to change helmet
October 1st 2007 Damage done to a work
helmet is caused by three
main factors. Falling
objects, corrosive chemicals
and the sun.
Peltor points out that,
when working outside, the
sun's UV rays gradually
degrade a helmet's plastic,
eventually putting the
safety of the wearer at risk.
The problem, says Peltor,
is that it is hard to tell the
difference between a new
and a UV-aged helmet.
The Peltor Uvicator
offers a solution. It is built
into the helmet and has a
display shaped like a small
clock.
At the outset, it will be
filled with a bright red
colour. With the passage of
time and the helmet's
exposure to sunlight, the
Uvicator will gradually
fade.
When it has turned
completely white, it is time
to change the helmet. More articles from Peltor AB: |
