Applications
The First Base 3 Bump Cap range is designed
toprovide protection against the effects of striking the
head against hard stationary objects which can cause
lacerations or other superficial injuries. Bump caps are
not intended to provide protection against the effects
of falling or thrown objects or suspended loads and
does not offer the same protection level as an industrial
safety helmet as specified in EN 397:2012.
Typical applications and environments that utilise base
ball style bump protection include manufacture and
maintenance in the aerospace, automotive and facilities
maintenance sectors, transportation and logistics
workers, tradesmen working in environments without
the risk of falling objects and government institutions
such as the police.
Maintenance/cleaning

washable. Please note the washing instructions below
should beadhered to when cleaning First Base 3
