Impact protection and comfort of the ERB bump cap

A bump cap is designed to protect the head against minor impacts: knocking against hard objects, protrusions, pipes or low edges. Lightweight and comfortable, it is ideal for people working in basements, crawlspaces, machine rooms and other areas with reduced clearance, as well as for workers in the food industry, in warehouses, in garages and for inspections. It helps prevent scrapes, cuts and bumps when moving through confined spaces.

Removable ABS shell and ventilation of the cap

At the heart of the protection is a rigid ABS plastic shell inserted inside the cotton cap and removable so the cap can be washed. The foam cushioning absorbs impacts, while the vent holes promote good airflow to stay comfortable during prolonged wear. Adjustment is made with a Velcro band at the back.

Maintenance and service life of the bump cap

Remove the ABS shell to wash the cotton cap according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Regularly inspect the shell for any traces of cracking, splitting or deformation, and replace the cap if the shell is damaged or after a significant impact. Avoid prolonged exposure to heat that could deform the ABS shell.
