Safety First Never Neglect Your Head Protection!
Keep This Buying Guide Handy
As the saying goes: “A small weight holds down a thousand catties; a small safety helmet saves lives.”
Safety helmets play a critical role in protecting the heads of workers from falling objects, small flying debris, and other specific hazards. Whether a safety helmet is qualified and compliant is extremely important.
How can you choose the right and suitable safety helmet?
Here are some key buying tips for you.
1. Choose According to the Workplace
A safety helmet is a protective device that safeguards the user’s head against injuries caused by falling objects, small splashing materials, and other specific hazards. They are divided into two categories by performance: general type and special type.
★ General-Type Safety Helmets
Suitable for general workplaces, providing basic protection.
★ Special-Type Safety Helmets
In addition to basic protection, they offer one or more special performances, designed for specific hazardous environments.
• Workplaces requiring anti-static properties should use anti-static special-type safety helmets.
• Low-temperature environments require low-temperature resistant special-type safety helmets.
2. Check That Labels Are Correct and Standardized
By regulation, safety helmet labels must include at least:
• Compliance standard: GB 2811-2019
• License number
• QS production license
• Manufacturer name
• Production date
• Product name
• Product classification mark
• Mandatory service life / expiration date
Marking notes:
• P = General type
• T = Special type
Always check the remaining service life before purchasing.
3. Try It On Before Buying
Although most safety helmets feature adjustable headbands, differences in head shape, head circumference, and manufacturer design mean fit varies.
We strongly recommend trying on the helmet before purchase to ensure both reliable protection and comfortable wear. Usage Instructions & Safety Notes
01 Inspect Before Use
• Check for cracks, dents, scratches, or wear on the shell.
• Verify that the internal suspension system is intact and functional.
• Do not disassemble, add, or modify any components without authorization.
• Avoid drilling holes or carving marks, as this will weaken structural performance.
02 Do Not Alter the Internal Suspension
Never arbitrarily adjust the suspension size.
Correct clearances must be maintained:
• Vertical depth (from headband bottom to top of head): > 80 mm
• Vertical distance (top of head to inner shell): < 50 mm
• Horizontal distance (headband to inner shell): > 6 mm
These gaps ensure proper shock absorption.
03 Wear Correctly and Securely
• Wear the helmet straight and firmly.
• Tighten the headband properly.
• Fasten the chin strap (if equipped) to prevent accidental slipping or falling off.
04 No Extra Hats Under the Helmet
Do not wear any other hat or cap underneath the safety helmet.
05 Replace After Impact
Any safety helmet that has sustained an impact or been used for testing must be discarded immediately, even if no visible damage is found.
06 Regular Inspection & Timely Replacement
Inspect helmets regularly. Use only within the valid service life. Replace immediately if cracks, damage, or deformation are found.
07 Proper Storage
Do not store safety helmets in environments with:
• Acids, alkalis, or chemical contaminants
• Extreme high or low temperatures
• Direct sunlight, moisture, or corrosive conditions
