Durable Construction with High-Performance Materials

Modern safety helmets used in the maritime and offshore industries are engineered with advanced materials for superior protection. Many models are constructed using fibre-reinforced composites or high-strength carbon safety helmet shells. These materials offer outstanding durability, impact resistance, and long-term performance, even under extreme weather and working conditions.

Equipped with a full brim grip design, these helmets stay securely in place—even in high winds. A robust chin strap and multi-point suspension system ensure the helmet remains firmly in position, delivering consistent head protection throughout the workday.

Comfort and Fit for Long-Term Wear

Wearing a safety helmet for hours on end shouldn’t mean sacrificing comfort. That’s why Scandia Gear’s helmets feature a synthetic leather comfort liner and a ratcheting fitment dial that allows workers to adjust the fit even while wearing gloves. Ergonomically designed, these helmets distribute pressure evenly to minimize fatigue and discomfort during long shifts.

Shock Absorption That Saves Lives

The shock absorption properties of a safety helmet can make the difference between a minor incident and a serious head injury. In environments where slips, trips, and falls are common, the internal suspension and padding are designed to absorb and distribute impact energy, helping to reduce the risk of traumatic injuries.

PPE Compatibility: Seamless Protection

In maritime and offshore operations, head protection must work in harmony with other PPE. Our safety helmets are designed for seamless integration with ear muffs, safety goggles, face shields, and respirators. This ensures full-body protection without compromising comfort or mobility.

Compliance with International Safety Standards

All our safety helmets are developed and tested in accordance with global safety regulations. For maritime and offshore use, compliance with safety helmet EN 397 is essential. This European standard specifies requirements for impact resistance, penetration protection, flame resistance, and chin strap strength. In addition, our helmets meet or exceed criteria set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)—so you can be confident in their performance in critical situations.

Choosing the Right Safety Helmet

Choosing the right safety helmet is critical to ensure maximum protection and comfort for workers in the maritime and offshore sector. It's essential to consider the helmet's design, materials, and features before making a decision.

• Material strength and lightweight design
  

• Shock absorption and impact resistance
  

• Compatibility with other PPE
  

• Adjustable fitment systems for enhanced comfort

In addition, regulations and standards must be taken into account to ensure that the helmet meets the necessary safety requirements. Some commonly recognized standards for safety helmets in the maritime and offshore sector include the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), and the European Standard (EN). These standards ensure that helmets meet specific criteria for durability, impact resistance, and electrical insulation.
