Head Protection Line with Bump Caps

Ergodyne has announced the expansion of its Skullerz Head Protection Line as well as the first products to be introduced under this brand: the Skullerz 8950 Bump Cap and 8960 Bump Cap with LED lighting technology.

For applications that do not require a hard hat but still have overhead hazards, these new bump caps provide head protection from worker-generated bumps, bruises and cuts without the additional height and bulk of a traditional hard hat. The caps are available with both short and long brims - and with or without patented hands-free LED lighting built into the cap brim.

"Not all workzones require the level of protection provided by a suspension hard hat," said Andy Olson, Senior Product Manager. "Many of these applications, however, do still present risks for workers to incur painful and costly head bumps, bruises and cuts caused by confined spaces, overhead obstacles or other hazards. For these workers, the new bump caps deliver the perfect combination of protection and lightweight breathability."

According to the company, Ergodyne's EN 812:2012-certified Bump Caps are designed to provide proper protection while also delivering comfort using a patented flanged shell that expands or contracts to fit the worker's head for a secure, comfortable fit. Additionally, the new bump caps feature thermo-formed foam and a ventilated shell which allow for breathability. The shell is also easily removed for cleaning.

The patented hands-free LED lighting built right into the brim on the 8960 Bump Cap, powered by four lithium-ion batteries and based on Ergodyne's 8940 PowerCap, illuminates workspaces without a flashlight or bulky headlamp.
