Product Information
Full details
The Portwest Safety Bump Baseball Cap is designed for workers in industrial, warehouse, or maintenance environments where head protection is necessary but standard hard hats are not required. It offers the familiar comfort of a casual baseball cap combined with an internal high-profile ABS shell to guard against minor bumps and scrapes. While it provides excellent protection against surface impacts, it is important to note that this product is not a replacement for a safety helmet and should not be used where falling objects or high-impact hazards are present.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Does this cap meet OSHA requirements for hard hats?
No, this is a bump cap designed for minor surface impacts. It is not an ANSI/OSHA certified hard hat and should not be used in areas requiring impact protection from falling objects.
Can the bump shell be removed?
Yes, the internal shell is designed to be removable for cleaning purposes or if the fabric portion of the cap needs washing.
Is it one size fits all?
Yes, the product is 'One Size' and features an adjustable touch-fastening back strap to accommodate different head sizes.
How often should I replace the bump cap?
You should replace the cap immediately if the internal shell sustains a significant impact or if the structure of the shell shows signs of damage like cracks.
Can I wash the cap in a washing machine?
It is recommended to hand wash the fabric part only. Do not machine wash or dry the internal ABS shell, as extreme heat can degrade the plastic material.
What is the EN812 standard?
EN812 is the European standard for industrial bump caps, ensuring the headwear provides adequate protection against the effects of bumping the head against hard, stationary objects.
Troubleshooting
The cap feels loose or moves during movement
Adjust the touch-fastening strap at the back to provide a tighter, more secure fit against the head.
Feeling overheated while wearing the cap
Ensure the eight ventilation ports are free from dust or debris; if environmental temperatures are high, take frequent breaks to allow for heat dissipation.
The internal shell shifts position
Remove the cap, ensure the inner padding and ABS shell are correctly seated against the inner fabric wall, and pull the cap firmly onto the head.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

- Compatibility: This cap is designed as a standalone head protection device. Ensure the inner shell is correctly positioned before use.
- Cleaning: Wipe the fabric exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. The internal ABS shell can be removed for cleaning if required, but ensure it is fully dry and properly re-seated inside the crown before wearing.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the ABS shell for cracks, chips, or signs of stress. If the shell has sustained a significant impact, replace the unit immediately to ensure continued safety.
