Applications
Consider for steel mills, foundries, industrial maintenance and construction where the hazard assessment permits Type I, Class G head protection. Grinding and welding also require suitable eye and face protection. Confirm that every accessory and adapter is approved for this full brim Skullgard; cap-style compatibility does not establish full brim compatibility.
Fit, Inspection and Care
Adjust the suspension according to the supplied instructions. Keep the space between shell and suspension clear. Inspect both components before and after use for cracks, brittleness, damaged straps or other deterioration. Replace the helmet after impact or penetration, even when damage is not obvious.
Clean the assembly with mild soap and warm water, following MSA’s instructions. Store it in a clean, dry storage location below 120°F. Record when the helmet enters service and review replacement needs regularly; heat, chemicals, sunlight and daily wear can shorten its useful life.
