The Australian Made 3M™ HH40 Series Safety Helmet is a wide brim safety helmet designed with a full brim for extra protection against sun and splash. This wide brim hard hat is ideal for general industrial, mining, construction, transport, forestry and heavy engineering industries. The 50 mm wide brim helps reduce sun exposure, assists in deflecting falling objects and helps prevent liquids from contacting exposed neck areas. The helmet design allows multiple branding and reflective tape options. Suitable for general industry use, this safety helmet helps protect the upper part of the wearer’s head. The HH40 has been designed to meet the requirements of AS/NZS 1801 for shock absorption, resistance to penetration, lateral stiffness, ignition by flame and electrical insulation for electrical hazards up to 650 V when tested in hot 50degC, cold -5degC and wet conditions.
What is the working life of a safety helmet?
This is one of the most commonly asked questions. All information pertaining to selection, care and use is available in AS/NZS 1800:1998. Markings on safety helmets are a requirement for certification and assist users in identifying their intended use. The shell is moulded with important information stamped on the peak, and users should familiarise themselves with the significance of this labelling. Replace your hard hat at regular intervals. Field tests have shown that, generally, helmet shells have a life of at least 3 years from the time of issue. Components of harnesses may deteriorate more rapidly in service and should therefore be replaced at intervals not longer than 2 years. If the sticker has been removed or unused, replace the helmet three years from the manufacture date stamp, which can be found under the brim or peak of the helmet. In the centre of the stamp is the year, with a directional arrow pointing to the month in which the helmet was made.
Customisation
Logo printing and branding options are also available.
Corporate branding and reflective tape options across the range help create and maintain company image and visibility on site. 3M safety helmets, including wide brim safety helmet and full brim hard hat styles, have been designed to allow customisation with company logos and images, with branding available on orders as low as 20 units. Various logo printing positions and colours are available.
3M safety helmets fitted with reflective tape offer improved visibility, particularly in low-light areas and at night. The tapes have been extensively tested to ensure that the adhesive is fully compatible with ABS Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene and polycarbonate materials. The different shapes and patterns have been designed to fit the helmets and enhance the day and night-time visibility of the wearer. Most patterns have also been designed to fit around safety helmet accessories such as hearing protection, lamp brackets and company logos.
