Forestry workers may face falling branches, flying wood debris, high noise and uneven terrain. A suitable Forestry Safety Helmet should therefore be selected as part of a complete head, face and hearing protection system.

Common Forestry Hazards

Typical forestry risks include:

● Falling branches

● Tree-felling hazards

● Flying wood chips and debris

● Uneven terrain

● High equipment noise

Chainsaw and tree-cutting work can create several hazards at the same time, so the helmet should work correctly with other required PPE.

More Than Head Protection

Forestry applications often require face and hearing protection in addition to the helmet.

CrystalShield™ Face Protection Technology focuses on visibility, facial coverage and integrated helmet compatibility for environments involving flying debris.

For environments where workers may contact branches or structures from different directions, ForceBarrier™ focuses on enhanced lateral coverage. The exact certified protection level of the selected helmet should still be confirmed before ordering.
