Experimental Program for Industrial Head Protective Devices. Phase II.

PB271524

Publication Date	1976
Personal Author	Scalone, A. A.; Frican, P.
Page Count	137
Abstract	The report presents the findings of a project designed to demonstrate that a head protective device could be developed for the American worker which would provide greater head protection than is presently available. A prototype maximum duty industrial helmet was fabricated. Performance evaluation began with laboratory testing and was later expanded to include actual field testing by volunteers in high head injury risk industrial environments. Based upon the results obtained during test, standards for a class of heavy duty industrial helmets were developed. These are presented as appendix B of this report. The report describes helmet test equipment and how it is used to evaluate the prototype helmet in relation to the developed recommended standard.
