Helmets are the last line of defense to protect workers' safety and play a vital role in their personal safety.

So, how long does a fiberglass helmet last?

What are the precautions for using fiberglass helmets?

Here, the editors will explain to you how long a fiberglass helmet lasts and what precautions to take.

What is a fiberglass helmet?

In fact, it is a construction helmet made of high-quality fiberglass and available in different colors.

Fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) is a more common product on construction sites.

Apart from fiberglass helmets and plastic helmets, which should not be underestimated, helmets are very important protective devices on construction sites.

Many construction sites use various types of helmet products, but they know very little about the service life.

When using a helmet, you should pay attention to its service life and determine its waste.

Plastic helmets have a maximum service life of 3 years and fiberglass helmets have a service life of 3.5 years.

After the expiration date, the user must go to the relevant departments for sampling and testing before continuing to use them; otherwise, the batch will be treated as scrapped. ,

Precautions for using FRP helmet are as follows:

1. Before use, check the appearance for cracks, bruises, unevenness and wear, whether the lid liner is intact, and whether the structure of the lid liner is in normal condition. If there are obvious defects that affect its performance, the helmet will be scrapped in time so as not to affect the protective effect.

2. Users are not allowed to disassemble or add accessories to the helmet so as not to affect its original protective performance.

3. Users are not allowed to adjust the size of the cap liner at will, which will directly affect the protective performance. In the event of a collision with a falling object, the helmet will fall off because it is not securely worn, or contact the top after a collision, directly injuring the wearer.

4. When in use, the wearer must wear the fiberglass helmet upright and securely without shaking, fasten the chin strap and adjust the strap to prevent falling.

5. Helmets that have been impacted or tested should not be used again.

6. It should not be stored in an environment contaminated by acid, alkali or chemical reagents, nor should it be placed in high temperature, sunlight or humid places to avoid aging and deterioration.

7. It should be used within the validity period, and the validity period of fiberglass safety helmet (including Velcro steel) and chewing gum is three and a half years.Protective effect of FRP safety helmet. When the operator's head is hit by a falling object, the cap shell and cap liner are utilized to instantly break down the impact force to the entire skull area, and then most of the impact force is absorbed by the elastic deformation, plastic deformation and permissible structural damages of the buffer structure, which reduces the impact force to the head to less than 4,900N, thus protecting the operator's head. The cap shell material plays an important role in the overall anti-attack performance.
