Avoid fatigue and heat stress this summer
Outdoor workers are affected by the summer heat every year, often leading to heat fatigue, heat stress and decreasing productivity.
With a simple but innovative cooling pad for the helmeted worker comfort is increased and risk is minimised, according to MSA Technologies and Enterprise.
A cooling effect of up to 12°C below ambient temperature is possible with one activation lasting 5-10 hours. This is only possible with the water management system created in the HyperKew material, as the fabric absorbs and releases water within its multi-layered structure. To activate just submerge the cooling pad in water for one minute. After a gentle squeeze it will feel almost dry with no drips, the cooling effect starts immediately.
The cooling pad can be activated over a 100 times and its durable, lightweight and free from pollutant chemicals. With hook and loop fastener it conveniently attaches to any V-Gard helmet suspension. MSA offers two versions of the cooling pad – either for the crown or extended with neck protection.
The perfect combination is with MSA's best in market vented helmet, V-Gard 200, with its many accessories and professional full colour printing. Worker's eyes can be kept safe too with MSA UV400 safety glasses that not only look good but protect against UV-radiation and glare as well as impact and dust.
