Technical safety helmets for professional crews

Professional safety helmets for work at height, technical access and offshore environments. These are PPE helmets for ground and technical operations — not aviation flight helmets.

Technical safety helmets

VERTEX or STRATO

Petzl's two ventilated professional helmets separate on weight and liner. The STRATO VENT runs an EPP/EPS liner and is the lighter of the two, which tells after a few hours overhead; the VERTEX VENT has adjustable vents and the comfort that comes with them. Both take the same modular accessory mounts, so headlamps, visors and hearing protection move between them and a mixed fleet does not turn into two sets of spares.

Not a flight helmet

These protect against falling objects and impact during work at height. An aviation flight helmet is a different product with a different purpose: it protects against impact inside the aircraft and carries the crew's communications. Neither substitutes for the other, and a crew that does both jobs carries both helmets. Helmet microphones and aircrew headsets are under crew communications.

Confirm the certification against the task

NVQ supplies these as a Petzl dealer and does not certify them. Which standard a given model and configuration holds, and whether it suits your procedure, has to be read from the product documentation and checked against your own risk assessment before anything enters service. Ask for the documentation on any item here and we will send it.
