3 or more years.
Harness has been in constant use for
2 or more years.
Showing signs of wear and tear to either
helmet shell or harness.
An impact has occurred that would have
caused wearer injury.
Components of harnesses may deteriorate more rapidly in
service, therefore they must be replaced every 2 years from the
date of orst use.
In use, head protection gear is generally treated with a lack of
care, often being thrown or dropped, used as a receptacle or
carried on the rear window shelf of a vehicle. None of these
actions are conducive to continued performance so Pro Choice
Safety Gear recommends users to regularly inspect both the
helmet shell and its harness for signs of wear and tear and to
store in a cool, dry place when not in use.

PRO CHOICE SAFETY GEAR HAS THE UNIQUE
PROLINK ANCHORAGE DESIGN TO CONNECT
THE INSIDE WEBBING WHICH SIGNIFICANTLY
IMPROVES SHOCK ABSORPTION.
Hard hats should be replaced after experiencing an impact as
the harness may be weakened.
Can the efectiveness of a hard hat be
afected by modiocations such as drilling
holes for ventilation or to secure a light?
Yes, the design of the hard hat is to give maximum protection
at minimum weight. This is achieved by the ridging and
moulding of the helmet shape. Any interference to the design
will weaken the structure.
Can a hard hat be painted?
No. The addition of paint or other chemical compounds such
as texter9s or permanent markers, may alter the structural and
protective efectiveness of the hard hat. The Pro Choice Safety
Gear range comes in a series of colours to suit the varying
requirements of workplaces.
Will the addition of chin straps, visors or
ear mufs afect the efectiveness of the
hard hat?
Pro Choice Safety Gear accessories such as chinstraps,
ear mufs and visors have been designed to complement the
Pro Choice Safety Gear hard hats without compromising the
efectiveness of the helmet. Oïcial Pro Choice Safety Gear
accessories have been tested and certioed by Australian and
New Zealand Standards to meet their stringent criteria,
when worn with Pro Choice Safety Gear Hard Hats.
