Which EN standard is a bump cap?

The sort of task you will be performing should be taken into consideration when selecting head protection. If you operate in an industrial or construction environment, you must always wear a hard helmet. In other cases, a bump cap could be enough. Make sure that the headgear you choose is appropriate for your workplace, your employees and yourself!

Understanding the difference between a bump cap vs hard hat is very important when selecting the appropriate cap. The industry-specific performance criteria for bump caps are outlined in the EN 812 standard. Industry-specific bump caps are designed to shield the wearer from the potentially dangerous consequences of a head collision with a hard, stationary item, which might result in cuts or other minor injuries. This is the main difference between bump caps vs hard hats. This type of headgear is not meant to provide protection against flying or dangling items, falling objects or moving weights – in these situations, EN 397-compliant industrial safety helmets must be used.

In work locations where there is a danger of injuries to the head from falling items or bumping into things, a bump cap is one form of headgear that is frequently worn. In order to prevent scratches, cuts and tears more than impact pressures, bump caps are made of different materials. They frequently have a visor to shield the face from flying debris, and they are typically composed of soft materials such as foam or cloth. Usually, safety glasses or hard hats are used in conjunction with bump caps as additional forms of personal protection equipment (PPE).

Buying Bump Caps

A hard blow to the head can cause a serious injury, resulting in life-changing consequences and sometimes, even fatalities. Providing personal protective equipment can go some way to reducing the risk of serious head injuries, and bump caps are a good option for many workplaces.

Good head protection can save lives if it reduces the impact of a blow to the head, but often it can be uncomfortable to wear. A bump cap provides effective protection against bumps and scrapes, but is a lightweight option that is comfortable to wear, even for long periods of time.

As well as being lightweight, bump caps provide ventilation to the head, allowing the wearer to remain at a comfortable temperature. For convenience, they are fully washable. The shape of the bump cap makes it easier to wear with other protective equipment, such as dust masks and safety glasses, which can be found in our range of PPE.

If the nature of work at your premises requires staff or visitors to enter a hazardous environment, personal protective equipment needs to be provided, which may include head protection such as bump caps. Understanding your obligations under the current health and safety laws can appear confusing, but by shopping at Seton, a leading retailer of workplace safety equipment, including head protection, you will find the process much easier. We make sure all of our products comply with the relevant EU and UK safety laws and are always glad to offer advice if you have any queries as to which products are suitable for your business.

To provide full protection, bump caps can be used in conjunction with other safety products. If tools are being used, you may need to provide ear protection, and we also have a large selection of gloves for hand protection, if those are also at risk. Don’t forget to remind everyone to wear head protection before entering the hazardous area, using our comprehensive range of head protection signs.

Head injuries can cause serious and sometimes even long-term consequences, but discomfort at work can cause its own hazards. If workers are uncomfortable, they are more likely to lose concentration, resulting in inefficiency and the increased risk of accidents. Bump caps provide a comfortable option that will allow staff to concentrate on their tasks, while still ensuring their heads are protected. Maintaining good safety standards is a priority for businesses and clearly displays to both employees and visitors how highly you value their wellbeing. With our extensive range of products, it is a straightforward process to find everything you need to keep everyone on your site safe.

A JSP bump cap is a kind of headwear that is frequently utilised in workplaces where there is a chance of injuries to the head from things falling or bumping against one another. The primary purpose of these bump caps is to prevent cuts, scratches and abrasions rather than to withstand impact pressures. These bump hats are typically composed of pliable materials such as foam or cloth and have a visor to shield the wearer’s face from falling debris. Usually, bump caps are worn in conjunction with other forms of personal protection equipment (PPE), such as protective glasses or hard helmets.

Bump caps are most frequently used in industrial and construction environments due to their ability to protect against small bumps, scratches and bruises. These bump caps are also used in industries where there is a chance of things falling and injuring heads. Bump hats are usually constructed of durable plastic or heavy-duty polyethylene that fit tightly on the head.

Safety bump caps are commonly utilised in work contexts where there is minimal potential for head injuries, including in specific industrial settings or the food service industry. These bump caps should only be employed in low-risk situations and should never be used in place of hard helmets. Bump caps often meet headgear-specific criteria for safeguarding against small accidents. Safety bump caps are not as durable as hard helmets. Particularly with repeated usage, the lightweight components used to make these hats may eventually degrade or wear out.

At Seton, you will be able to find a range of bump caps that will provide you with just the right kind of protection you need.
