The Dromex® industrial bump cap provides the head with protection in low-risk situations to reduce exposure to lacerations, abrasions and other
injuries such as minor bumps to the head. They are not intended to provide protection against the effects of falling or thrown objects.
An industrial bump cap should not be confused with an industrial safety helmet as per EN 397 standards. The low dome profile of the cap allows it to be worn with other PPE protection such as ear plugs, spectacles, goggles and respiratory masks.

| Special Instructions | WARNING! THIS IS NOT AN INDUSTRIAL SAFETY HELMET. This bump cap does not provide protection against the effects of falling/ thrown objects or moving suspended loads. It should not be used instead of an industrial safety helmet as specified in EN 397. This bump cap is made to absorb the energy of a blow by partial destruction or damage to the shell and the harness if fitted and even though such damage may not be readily apparent, any bump cap subjected to severe impact should be replaced. For adequate protection, this bump cap must fit or be adjusted to the size of the user’s head. The attention of users is also drawn to the danger of modifying or removing any of the original component parts of the bump cap, other than as recommended by the bump cap manufacturer. Bump caps should not be adapted for the purpose of fitting attachments in any way not recommended by the bump cap manufacturer. As required by European Health and Safety requirements the user is advised that when the bump cap is in contact with the user’s skin, it may cause allergic reactions to susceptible individuals. If this is the case the wearer should leave the hazardous area, remove the bump cap and seek a doctor’s advice. Actual conditions of use cannot be directly simulated in a test environment therefore it is the responsibility of the end user and not the manufacturer or supplier to determine the industrial helmet suitability for the intended use. All industrial helmets should be thoroughly inspected before use to ensure no damage is present |
