Every job big or small, at home or on the job site, can create flying debris, loud noise, and pose other dangers.  Purchasing a helmet system is the first step to protecting yourself, your co-workers and anyone ready to take on a potentially hazardous project.

  • In most cases, helmet systems and other safety apparel are required by law when working on a commercial job site. Purchasing helmet systems to keep your crew safe is one way to ensure productivity.  It also creates worker confidence knowing they are properly outfitted with the correct safety apparel to perform the tasks at hand.  It is an easy, safe, and necessary way to let your employees know you care about their safety and well-being.
  • A chainsaw helmet is necessary for providing protection to the head, face, and ears of individuals engaged in woodcutting projects. It safeguards against potential hazards such as falling debris, branches, and accidental contact with the chainsaw, thus reducing the risk of serious injuries.
  • Helmet systems are an integral tool for individuals engaged in woodcutting activities. Its multifaceted design, incorporating head, face, and ear protection, makes it a comprehensive solution for ensuring safety in a potentially hazardous environment. When selecting a helmet system, prioritize features such as safety standards compliance, proper fit, and visibility.
  • Regular maintenance is crucial for ensuring the helmet remains effective over time. A cracked shell or distressed face shield can compromise the integrity of the helmet system and limit its functionality and safety. 
  • Chainsaw helmets are suitable for a wide range of woodcutting activities, including forestry work, arboriculture, and general tree maintenance. However, it’s essential to choose a helmet that aligns with the specific requirements of your task. Different helmets may offer varying levels of protection and features, so selecting one tailored to your needs is crucial for ensuring safety.
  • Chainsaw helmets are designed for both professionals and occasional users. Whether you’re a seasoned arborist, a forestry worker, or someone who uses a chainsaw for occasional tasks like tree trimming or firewood cutting, wearing a chainsaw helmet is essential for personal safety.

What is the Purpose of a Helmet System?

Helmet Systems primarily serve the purpose of protecting the head from injuries caused by falling objects, or accidental contact with the chainsaw. The helmet system’s shell is typically made from high-impact-resistant materials, providing a strong shield against impact.

Helmet System Face Shield:

The helmet system’s face shield and eye protection components protect against flying wood chips, dust, and other debris generated during wood cutting. These shields are often made from transparent materials that allow for a clear line of sight while ensuring the operator’s eyes and face remain shielded.

Helmet System Ear Protection:

Many chainsaw helmets come equipped with earmuffs or ear protection to reduce the impact of the chainsaw’s noise. Prolonged exposure to high decibel levels of a chainsaw can lead to hearing damage, making this feature essential for long-term worker safety.

The earmuffs cover the ears and create a barrier against the high decibel levels, preventing potential hearing damage during prolonged use.

Helmet System Shell:

The helmet shell is typically made from durable materials such as high-density polyethylene, or acrylonitrile butadiene styrene. These materials provide excellent impact resistance, ensuring the helmet can withstand falling objects and accidental bumps.

Helmet System Face Shield:

Face shields are usually made from polycarbonate, a transparent and strong material. They are designed to protect the face from flying wood chips, branches, and other debris without obstructing the operator’s view.

While face shields are the first line of protection against debris and other hazardous materials, most safety helmets allow adjustments to comfortably wear safety glasses as well.  This delivers a second line of defense against flying debris and other hazardous materials.

Helmet Systems. A Proper Fit For You:

A properly fitted helmet is essential for maximum effectiveness. Most chainsaw helmet systems come with adjustable straps and padding to customize the fit to your head shape.  Helmet systems are made with a wide and clear field of vision. Some helmets even come with anti-fog coatings on the face shield to maintain visibility in varying weather conditions.

To ensure a proper fit, choose a chainsaw helmet with adjustable straps and padding. It’s essential to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for fitting and adjusting the helmet to your head shape. A secure and adjustable chin strap is also crucial for keeping the helmet in place during use.

A secure and adjustable chin strap ensures the helmet stays firmly in place, even during strenuous activities. This feature is crucial for preventing the helmet from dislodging in the event of a fall or impact.

Many helmet systems are designed to accommodate the use of prescription glasses or goggles.

Proper ventilation is essential to prevent discomfort and overheating during extended periods of use. Helmets often incorporate ventilation openings and sweat-wicking padding to enhance breathability.

How Long Will Your Helmet System Last?

Chainsaw helmets have a limited lifespan, especially when subjected to regular use and potential impact. It’s crucial to follow the manufacturer’s recommended replacement schedule, typically based on factors such as; usage, wear and tear, and exposure to environmental conditions. Regular inspections should also be performed to identify any signs of damage that may necessitate immediate replacement.
