Electrician's hard hat

In the professional field, any intervention on the electrical network requires reliable electrical protection. Helmets help protect the head and face from impacts. They also prevent falls and projections in the workplace on a daily basis.

Rubix France offers electrician helmets that comply with each standard, featuring clear markings and an insulation class. Suitable for various environments, they come in numerous models according to your specific needs. Your equipment gains in quality and safety for better risk management.

An electrician special hard hats corresponds to precise standards:

• The EN 397 standard guarantees resistance to impacts, falling objects, and brief electrical contact up to 440 V.
• The EN 50365 standard is intended for low voltage interventions. It certifies insulation up to 1000 V AC or 1500 V DC.
• The visor and helmet sets tested according to the GS-ET-29 class 2 standard ensure enhanced safety. They are suitable for environments with a high risk of arc.

To ensure that the equipment offers genuine electrical protection, you can rely on the double triangle symbol. Voltage and lifespan indications are also provided in the manual.

Rubix relies on major brands to distribute reliable solutions:

• The AUBOUEIX brand offers the IDRA helmet with a liftable polycarbonate visor and textile headgear. It meets the needs of multi-skilled technicians. The IDRA 2 model features a moulded ABS shell and an adjustable harness for increased durability.
• The TC403B helmet from SIBILLE FAMECA ELECTRIC has an integrated face shield. It thus protects both the head and face during interventions.
• 3M brand offers the G3000/G3001 series in HDPE and non-ventilated versions with UV indicators. They are available in orange for maximum visibility. Designed for high-temperature environments, the G3501 series ensures reliability and comfort.
• Centurion helmets are renowned for their robustness and ergonomics while complying with electrical protection requirements.
• The lightweight Portwest models stand out for their excellent value for money.

The Rubix catalogue also includes premium references such as the MSA V-Gard 950. Compliant with arc-flash standards, it meets the highest protection standards. It provides complete head and face protection with GS-ET-29 class 2 certification.

Models equipped with a visor covering the neck and ears significantly reduce the risk of injury. The 3M G3001 range, with UV indicator, ensures optimal management of material quality and ageing.

For metallurgy, the G3501 withstands extreme heat.

Wearing an unsuitable helmet exposes the electrician to multiple risks. A non-insulating model compromises safety by allowing current conduction. A poorly sized visor may allow various projections to pass through. A lack of comfort increases fatigue and reduces the field of vision. A helmet that does not meet thermal conditions does not provide the necessary performance to ensure adequate protection.

In terms of safety, each work context imposes specific criteria. For low voltage interventions, EN 50365 insulating helmets should be prioritised. In case of an electric arc risk, GS-ET-29 tested sets are the most appropriate.

Comfort remains essential with models featuring textile headgear, ratchet adjustment, and four-point chin straps for stability.

Also, consider checking compatibility with glasses, hearing protection, or headlamps.

The choice of materials is a determining factor. For the shell, you can opt for ABS, HDPE, or polyethylene. Visors are generally made of polycarbonate. Non-ventilated helmets are recommended for electrical work.

Rubix offers numerous accessories to complement your individual protection needs. In addition to clip-on glasses, find a selection of front supports, clear or tinted visors.

Noise-cancelling ear cups, headlamps, chin straps, and neck covers complete the list.

It is important to check your helmet before each operation to identify signs of wear and malfunction. In addition to regular cleaning, storage should be done away from heat and sunlight. Manufacturers indicate a duration to be respected before replacing the helmet or visor.

According to your field needs, the choice of helmet is made in compliance with the corresponding standard. With its multi-brand offer of electrician helmets, Rubix helps better protect your teams.
