Oregon Chainsaw Safety Protective Helmet

Protect your head with a safety helmet

A safety helmet or hard hat is the main type of head protection worn by chainsaw users. The purpose of a safety helmet is to protect your head from the impact of falling branches. The original safety helmets were made out of aluminum. While aluminum hard hats are still worn today, the majority of safety helmets are now made out of plastic. Regardless of the material you choose for your safety helmet, it’s important that it is structurally sound. If it has holes, dents, bad suspension or is discolored (in the case of plastic safety helmets), it’s time to get a new hat or fix the suspension.

You can test the structure of your plastic safety helmet by compressing it with your hands. If the helmet returns to the original shape after you release it, it is structurally sound. If not, your helmet should be replaced immediately.

Safety features

Many of today’s helmets are built with additional safety features. Some safety helmets include a face shield. Face shields can help prevent cuts and scrapes from branches, flying wood chips, and saw dust. Other helmets can also include built-in ear muffs for hearing protection. Our helmet features both.
