3M First Base Plus Safety Headgear ABS Black 180 g EN 812

The 3M First Base Plus Safety Headgear ABS Black 180 g EN 812 is a practical bump cap designed to protect the head against light bumps and impacts in working areas where a full industrial safety helmet is not required. Crafted from durable ABS material, this safety headgear provides reliable performance for everyday tasks under low ceilings, overhead structures, and during indoor maintenance. Featuring a lightweight construction of only 180 grams and an adjustable head circumference, it ensures long-lasting comfort and a secure fit for various users throughout the workday.

Advantages

This bump cap offers reliable protection against minor head bumps while maintaining a lightweight profile that reduces fatigue during extended wear. The adjustable head circumference ranging from 52 to 65 cm allows for a customized and secure fit for different head sizes. Additionally, the shortened 55 mm brim keeps the upward field of vision clear and unhindered, making it easier to work in tight spaces or observe overhead environments safely. The robust ABS shell ensures good impact resistance, and the neutral black unisex design integrates easily into standard workwear wardrobes.

Suitable for

• Working under low ceilings and pipework
• Maintenance and inspection tasks in indoor environments
• Automotive assembly and light manufacturing
• General light industrial work where EN 812 compliance is required

This headgear is not suitable for environments where heavy falling objects, high-voltage electrical hazards, or falling loads pose a risk, as it does not replace a certified industrial safety helmet designed for heavy-duty protection under strict industrial standards.

Key specifications

• Made from durable ABS material
• Certified according to EN 812 standard
• Adjustable head circumference from 52 to 65 cm
• Shortened 55 mm brim for clear upward vision
• Lightweight design weighing 180 g
• Unisex styling in black color

To use the safety headgear, adjust the rear sizing mechanism until the cap fits snugly and securely around your head without causing excessive pressure. Position the cap correctly so that it sits evenly on the head, providing proper coverage for the forehead and top of the skull. Ensure the shortened brim is facing forward to maintain an unobstructed view during your tasks.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your workplace safety regulations permit the use of an EN 812 bump cap instead of a full industrial safety helmet
• Check the adjustable head circumference range of 52 to 65 cm against your own head measurements
• Evaluate the specific impact risks present in your work environment to ensure appropriate protection

Store the safety headgear in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Inspect the ABS shell and internal components regularly for signs of wear, cracks, or damage, and replace the cap if it has sustained a significant impact.
