The different roles of the protective cap at work (Men / Women)

Its role varies depending on the work environment where it is used. The work cap can have a basic role and be used to standardize work outfits. It can be an additional accessory to differentiate between certain positions. It can be worn by an order picker, a waiter, etc.

Certain caps are made to provide a certain level of comfort depending on the season. It can: protect from the sun. This is the very essence of the visor, but models are also designed to be particularly breathableand wick away perspiration quickly for maximum comfort. To protect against the extreme cold, a fleece fabric is used and elements added.

In certain cases, it will be used to protect a space from anything that can contaminate it. This is particularly the case with the disposable fishnet cap which has the role of preventing hair from falling into a given space. It is particularly used in the catering sector. Some caps are also called catering caps.

Other caps are high visibility and used for outdoor work. Their primary role is to increase the visibility of their wearer. They are equipped with reflective strips to better distinguish the wearer when visibility is very low.

Finally, the cap can be an anti-impact accessory which, generally speaking, is used for indoor activities. In this case, its role will be to protect the head from the risk of collisions against fixed and hard objects which can lead to cuts or superficial injuries. It is worn to protect the skull (except the crown).

The EN 812 standard and the NF EN 812/A1 amendment are the rules that govern the design of an anti-bump cap. As mentioned above, it will provide protection to the wearer's head against the impact of a stationary object and hard to avoid superficial injuries or cuts. For this, a protective shell will be embedded in the cap. But if it is very effective in protecting against impacts, it in no way replaces a helmet which protects against falling objects. Despite the inlaid shell, the constitution of the latter is too fragile to effectively protect the head against a falling object. Once this type of risk is identified, the cap must be replaced by a construction helmet.

The anti-impact cap is generally used for indoor activities such as plumbing, car repairs, etc. But quite surprisingly, it is also widely used in the food industry for its easy decontamination thanks to its shape.

To date, the anti-impact cap, and particularly the shell, is the only one to be subject to strict design rules. No other specific requirements were mentioned regarding the addition of other elements such as an ear cover to use the cap in the extreme cold for example. The rest of the work caps must have the CE certification which allows the circulation of products in Europe.
