The EN 13087-5 standard, a European standard, describes the retention system strength characteristics and test methods of helmets. In our country, it has been published by the Turkish Standards Institute (TSE) with the following title: TS EN 13087-5 Protective helmets - Test methods - Part 5: Restraint system strength.

The Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA), a subsidiary of the US Department of Labor, states that people working in work environments where there is a risk of head injury from falling objects must wear a safety helmet. Those working in work environments that have a risk of being exposed to electrical conductors that may touch their head must wear a hard hat. In these cases, specially designed and standard-compliant helmets and hard hats should be used.
According to the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), inside a helmet manufactured to standards must have a legible label identifying the standards for which the helmet is designed to meet.
Safety has always been a very important issue in all industrial activities, especially in the construction sector. As a result, some measures need to be taken. The more prepared employees are, the lower the chance of accidents and injuries in the work environment. The head is the most important part of the human body. Safety helmets are the first line of defense against head injury, but only if the helmet is chosen correctly. Therefore, helmet use saves lives and reduces the risk of brain damage.
The safety helmet is designed to protect the person from falling objects and unwanted impacts to the head, eyes and neck, bumps, scratches and electrical exposure. Wearing a safety helmet is a mandatory requirement that must be followed. The important point here is that the holding power of the helmet, EN 13087-5 It complies with the criteria described in the standard.
Our organization also provides helmets, holding system strength (EN 13087-5) testing services within the scope of head protection equipment testing services.
