The Falcon Volt: the safety helmet for electricians

Aware of the risks inherent in the profession of electrician, Coverguard has unveiled its new helmet: the FALCON VOLT. The Falcon Volt has been thought through and designed with the risks associated with working in electrical environments in mind, and will meet all the challenges you face on a daily basis.

Context and risks inherent in working as an electrician

In the course of their work, electricians are confronted with various electrical risks, posture hazards and physical shocks. To ensure optimum comfort, Coverguard has developed a range of PPE to provide optimum protection for electricians.

Electrical risks: The main risk lies in electrically live areas. Being directly or indirectly in contact with these live areas can cause serious injuries such as burns, eye damage, damage to the lungs and eardrums, etc. These voltage risks can also cause fires or explosions.
Ergonomic risks: In the course of their work, electricians may find themselves in awkward positions. These positions can cause discomfort and fatigue, as well as musculoskeletal disorders that can disable the professional.
Risks of physical shock: Electricians may be subjected to shocks or carry loads during their work. The use of tools can also be a source of problems.
Aware of these risks, electricians must use suitable PPE for effective protection, including an EN50365 standard electrician's helmet for comfort and protection during work.

Introducing our Falcon Volt helmet, designed for electricians

The Falcon Volt helmet, specially designed for electricians, addresses all the above risks. This safety helmet has technical features and specifications specific to working in an electrical environment, while offering real comfort, a modern design and full compliance with current standards.

Comfort: Our Falcon Volt safety helmet offers optimum comfort thanks to a 4-point chinstrap for excellent fit and better weight distribution. This safety helmet also has a chin strap to ensure stability and comfort during use. The FALCON VOLT is fitted with an adjustable, retractable visor that covers the entire face.
Optimum protection: The Falcon Volt is fitted with a double ABS shell providing mechanical protection (against shocks and impacts) and electrical protection (1000V AC / 1500V DC). This safety helmet ensures that all electricians are safe from all the risks associated with their work.
Ultra-modern design: In creating this product, we focused on modernity and innovation, reflected in its avant-garde look. We don't believe that appearance and aesthetics should be secondary; they're an integral part of PPE. The design and ergonomics of the Falcon Volt helmet are designed to suit all types of user.

Standards met by the Falcon Volt

Our Falcon Volt helmet, designed for electricians, complies with 4 main current standards: EN397, EN50365 (class 0), GS-ET-29 E (class 1) and EN 166.

EN397: This standard certifies that this is a protective helmet for industry with optional L.D (lateral deformation) and M.M (molten metal splash) tests for use at extreme temperatures down to -30°C.
EN50365 (class 0): Our electrician's helmet complies with this standard, which specifies requirements for electrically insulating helmets to be used when working on or near live parts (1000V (AC) or 1500V (DC)).
GS-ET-29 E (class 1): This German standard is used for the specific assessment of protective screens intended for use in electrical work. Resistance 4kA (135kJ/m3)
EN 166: This European standard defines the suitability for use of personal eye protectors against hazards encountered mainly in industry.
2C-1,4:
2C: UV filter without colour alteration
1,4: Visible light transmission from 74.4 to 58.1%.
Optical class 1
High energy impact resistance (190 m/s) (A)
Resistance to impact at extreme temperatures (-5°C - +55°C)(T)
Resistance to large liquid splashes (3)
Resistance to short-circuit arcing (8)
- Non-adhesion of molten metal and resistance to penetration of hot solids (9)
- Scratch-resistant treatment (K)
- Anti-fog treatment (N)

Accessories for the Falcon Volt

To accompany the Falcon Volt, accessories can be added as required to suit your comfort and safety. Among the additional accessories, you may need our 6FAHC00NSI headlamp holder and 6FARS00NSI reflective tape. These two accessories will enhance your visibility during your activity.
