Diversified technology company 3M has launched a new multi-system protective headgear solution for demanding industrial environments.

3M Headgear G500 industrial combinations provide protection and comfort for wearers who require both hearing and face protection and have been designed to adapt to multiple accessory combinations in order to be highly versatile.

The ratchet headband is adjustable with eight possible positions plus three vertical settings to achieve a perfect fit and the headgear can be used with or without protective earmuffs. Accessories include face shields, integrated safety eyewear and a PVC sweatband for added comfort and ventilation.

Louisa Perry of the 3M Safety Solutions Division explained: “Workers in demanding environments in heavy industry and manufacturing require effective protection that can adapt to harsh and potentially changing conditions. 3M Headgear G500 offers impact protection with a wide field of view and high end user comfort. It is a practical and simple solution that enables the wearer to build their own system for personal hearing and face protection by making it easy to combine the headgear with additional 3M safety products such as eyewear, different face shields or hearing protection.”

3M Headgear G500 is approved to EN 166 1BT for PC visor and EN 352-3 for earmuffs.
