Portwest PS73 Safety Helmet Mountaineer

Portwest PS73 Height Endurance Mountaineer safety helmet is designed for working at height, climbing and rescue operations in construction and fall-risk environments. The helmet features a Styrofoam-type inner liner, 4-point chin strap and adjustable harness to support retention and impact energy management in elevated work conditions.

General Information

This is a mountaineer-style safety helmet intended for work at height, equipped with a Styrofoam-type inner liner and Y-shaped 4-point chin strap. The primary functional benefit is secure retention and compliant head protection in fall-risk areas.

When assessing suitability, confirm that the site safety requirements specify a mountaineer-type helmet under EN 12492 and permit chin strap use for the relevant work phase.

Benefits and Differences Compared to Similar Products

• Styrofoam-type liner and EN 12492 compliance support use in fall-risk areas where helmet retention is critical.
• 6-point harness and ratchet adjustment allow controlled fit across different head shapes.
• ABS outer shell combined with EPS inner structure provides mechanical resistance and energy absorption within the same platform.
• Accessory compatibility (visor and hearing protection) enables integration with site eye and hearing protection requirements.

Intended Use

Suitable for professionals working at height, in climbing operations and rescue tasks, and in environments requiring EN 12492 compliant head protection. Also suitable for industrial applications where EN 397 additional performance markings meet site requirements.

Not suitable for applications requiring alternative head protection standards (e.g. specialised electrical insulation helmets or welding helmets) or accessories outside the stated compatibility range.

Where both EN 12492 and EN 397 are referenced in procurement specifications, verify which standard classification is primary for the specific task risk assessment.
