you can remove a hot Ensemble quickly to help prevent or reduce the severity of burns.



!DANGER

5. HELMET CONSTRUCTION, FEATURES

AND FUNCTION

Your helmet provides limited protection to your head from impact, heat, ame,

abrasion and cuts. You should study its construction to understand its functions

and limitations. (FIG. 2, FIG. 3)

5.1 HELMET SHELL 1

The Helmet shell provides the rst line of defense against blunt and sharp objects,

heat, ame and steam from above, the sides, front and rear. Although strong, the

shell is not indestructible. Severe, repeated impacts, exposures to extremely high

temperatures, or direct exposure to ame will cause

damage to the shell. See inspection process for details.

5.2 IMPACT CAP 2

The impact cap is constructed of molded

expanded polypropylene to attenuate

(absorb) harmful energy resulting from

impacts, and to insulate the wearer from

heat and ame impacting the Helmet shell.

Although strong, the impact cap is not

indestructible. Severe, repeated impacts,

exposures to extremely high temperatures, or

direct exposure to ame will cause damage.

See inspection process for details.

5.3 SUSPENSION SYSTEM

The suspension system attenuates (absorbs)

the harmful energy during impacts by stretching

and slowing the acceleration effect

(i.e., like the bumper on a car).

5.4 HEADBAND

The headband secures the entire Helmet to the head. Ensure the security of the

Helmet by tightening the ratchet band. Severe repeated impacts, exposure to

extreme heat or direct ame will cause damage to the headband.

5.5 EAR COVERS

The ear covers attached to the underside of the Helmet provide very limited protection

to the neck, ears and head from heat and ame. Installation is accomplished with

hook and pile strips to allow removal for cleaning. Ensure that the ear covers overlap

the upturned and secured coat collar prior to entering a hazardous area.

FIG. 2

Key Elements of

NFPA 1971 Compliant Helmets.

5.6 GOGGLES

6(not shown)

The goggles help protect the eyes and portions

of the face from heat, ame, and debris. Although

strong, goggles are not indestructible. Severe,

repeated impacts, exposures to extremely high

temperatures, or direct exposure to ame

will cause damage.

5.7 CHINSTRAP

Always securely fasten the Helmet to your head

with the adjustable chinstrap. Although strong, the

chinstrap is not indestructible. Severe, repeated

impacts, exposures to extremely high temperatures,

or direct exposure to ame will cause damage.

5.8 TRIM

Retroreective and uorescent trim attached to

the Helmet shell improves your visibility in low light

and daylight conditions. All reective trim may lose

reectivity under extreme heat conditions.

FIG. 3

Additional Key Elements of

NFPA 1951 Compliant Helmets.

5.9 LABELS

Important safety and cleaning information is located on the labels inside the dome

of the Helmet. The Helmet style number, date of manufacture, and the name and

address of the manufacturer are also located on the labels.

6. INSPECTING YOUR HELMET

Your Helmet should be cleaned, inspected and repaired in a frequency and manner consistent

with your re department’s protocol, NFPA 1855, and NFPA 1951.

6.1 PREPARATION

Read all Safety, Cleaning and Information Labels (See Section 5 of this Guide

for location). If any of the labels are missing, return the Helmet to the

manufacturer immediately.

6.2 FREQUENCY

Routine Inspection:

Inspect your Helmet and components at the following times:

• Upon receipt of your new Helmet or replacement component;

• after each use or at least monthly (whichever is greater) during the useful life

of the Helmet;

• after exposure to heat, ames, chemicals, or reghting agents (including

AFFF foam and water);

• after exposure to body uids (including blood); and

• after washing, repair or decontamination.

Advanced Inspection:

Your Helmet should undergo a regular Advanced Inspection by an expert in the Fire

Department who has been trained by LION, LION TotalCare®or a veried ISP at least

annually or whenever you have a question about whether a Helmet is t for use.

Most performance properties of the Helmet and its components cannot be tested by the

user in the eld. However, careful inspections prior to use are recommended. Do not use

helmets that are not thoroughly cleaned and dried.

WARNING



www.lionfireacademy.com

6.3 INSPECTION PROCESS AND CRITERIA

1. Preparation for Inspection

A. Wear appropriate gloves during inspection.

B. Ensure the Helmet is clean. If the Helmet has been contaminated

by hazardous materials or biological agents, make sure it has been

decontaminated. This is important for your safety and for assurance that

potential problems are not masked by incidental residue.

C. Place the Helmet on a clean surface in a brightly lighted area.

D. Separate Helmet components from the Helmet.

2. Inspection of the Helmet

A. Outer Shell: Examine for dirt, cracks, charring, warping or soft spots.

Cracks, charring, warping or soft spots are signs that the outer shell

may be damaged or worn out. The outer shell may need to be replaced.

B. Trim: Check for melting, loss of retroreectivity and uorescence, and

separation from shell.

C. Impact Cap: Examine for deterioration, cracks or other damage.

D. Suspension system: Examine for torn or damaged straps or padding.

E. Goggles (if present): Examine for cracks, scratches, charring, distortions

or damage.

F. Ear Cover: Look for dirt, tears, and signs of light degradation.

G. Headband: Examine for dirt, tears, breaks in the connectors, and broken

or loose adjustment ratchet.

6.4 RECORDKEEPING

LION TotalCare®Centers offer recordkeeping services. For manual records,

record all inspection and your results on the Inspection, Cleaning, Repair,

Retirement and Disposal Record located in the back of this Guide. Maintain this

form unless your organization has provided you with a comparable recordkeeping

method for this purpose.

7. DONNING, DOFFING, FIT AND ADJUSTMENT

7.1 PREPARATION

NOTE: Helmet must interface effectively with NFPA certied products which include

coat or garment, and ear covers to provide designed limited protection.

You must rst put on all protective equipment,

including coats, pants, boots, gloves, and helmet

before entering any hazard area.

7.2. DONNING

Place the Helmet on your head, connect the

chinstrap, and engage the goggles.

7.3 FIT AND ADJUSTMENT

Your safety depends upon the proper t of your Helmet. You must check the

integrity, t, and proper assembly of the Helmet, suspension, and chinstrap before

each use. Since no two heads are exactly alike, a new Helmet will need to be

adjusted to your head’s unique size and shape.

Always use your chinstrap.

Failure to use the chinstrap

may result in loss of

Helmet during emergency

operations.
