u) The cape and cape fastener are also labelled. The blast helmet is not suitable for use for other

-The helmet can be worn with the head in the usual vertical or slightly inclined position.
-The air indicator will not function in forced postures, e.g. with the head in a horizontal position
when lying down.
-
The helmet also protects the skin on the operator’s head and neck from grazing caused by
rebounding blast media.
-The quality of the air supply is critical and very important for ensuring the safety and wellbeing of
the operator.

may produce high carbon monoxide concentrations.
-
The presence of excessive carbon monoxide concentrations may result in the operator’s death.
-If special air sources are used, e.g. a cylinder trolley or portable air tanks, these must be
equipped with warning devices in accordance with EN14594:2018.
