Peltor helmets: Choose protection for your tasks

Peltor helmets should be selected according to the hazards identified in your workplace risk assessment. For forestry, grounds maintenance or site work, check the individual model’s stated applications and safety standards rather than relying on appearance. Head protection, hearing protection and face protection serve different purposes, so confirm which components are included and what additional equipment your task requires.

Check fit and accessory compatibility

When comparing Peltor helmets, look at the adjustment system, stated size range and suspension design. A helmet should sit securely without uncomfortable pressure and remain stable as you move. If your work also requires hearing protection, check which Peltor earmuffs are approved for the specific helmet and mounting system. Do not assume that every helmet-mounted earmuff or visor will fit every model.

Inspect your helmet and plan replacements

Before using Peltor helmets, inspect the shell, suspension and attachment points for cracks, deformation or wear. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions on cleaning, storage and replacement intervals; replace a helmet after a significant impact, even if damage is not obvious. Keep it away from unsuitable chemicals and excessive heat during storage. Explore the wider Peltor range when selecting compatible protective equipment, and verify each component against the helmet’s documentation.
