Portwest PS53 Safety helmet

Portwest PS53 is a non-vented safety helmet for chemical work environments, construction sites, inspections and traffic control. The ABS shell without ventilation openings is intended for splash and electrical risk control where EN 397 and EN 50365 compliance is required.

General information

Portwest PS53 is a safety helmet for temporary and repeated professional use. The non-vented design supports use in chemical work areas where openings through the shell are not appropriate.

The main functional benefit is a splash-resistant closed ABS shell combined with a rear ratchet designed to operate in cold conditions. When specifying the product, check the task-specific requirements for splash protection, electrical insulation and hearing protection compatibility.

Intended use

The product is suitable for construction, maintenance, inspections, traffic control, security duties and chemical work environments requiring a non-vented safety helmet. It is relevant for users, supervisors, HSE functions and procurement teams assessing PPE compatibility and standard compliance.

The product is not intended for tasks requiring standards or electrical ratings beyond those stated. The closed shell provides less airflow than a vented helmet, which should be considered in warm work environments.
