Care, Inspection, Maintenance and electrical limits for use
The helmet should be stored and transported, if required, in packaging
sufficiently robust to prevent accidental damage to the shell or harness and
to protect from exposure to chemicals and direct sunlight.
Inspect your helmet and harness every day you wear it.
The helmet‘s useful life is affected by heat, cold, chemicals and sunlight.
Examine for cracks, brittleness, breakage craze pattern, discolouration or
chalky appearance. Any of the above indicates a loss of impact resistance,
and the helmet should be immediately replaced.
Clean and disinfect only with mild soap (no detergents) and warm water.
The electrically insulating helmet cannot be used alone. It is also necessary
to use other insulating protective equipment according to the risks involved
in the work.
Don’t use paint, solvents, glue or stick labels non-approved by
manufacturer.
Dispose in accordance with local regulations.
Recommended product lifetime
The "date code" on the brim of your MSA helmet is the date of
manufacture (shell injection), not the actual starting date of use, as
the period between manufacturing and actual distribution to the
worker can vary. Each helmet has a stamped year and month of
manufacture. The arrow in the stamp points to the month and the year overlays
the arrow.
