Safety Helmets
The safety helmet, also called hardhat or work helmet, has been part of the construction work scenery for decades. The deceptively simple safety helmet must these days undergo rigorous testing before being comfortably installed on a head.

Safety helmets are classified by their capacity to withstand impacts. A helmet without an inner foam shell is called type 1. A helmet with such a foam shell is called type 2. The inner foam shell allows a type 2 helmet to resist lateral impacts better than a type 1 helmet.

Safety helmets are further grouped in classes according to their resistance to electrical shocks, as determined by electrical resistance testing to determine their insulating properties. Class E helmets are made of non-conducting materials and resist to a nominal voltage of 20 000 V.

Sylprotec offers safety helmets in a wide array of colors to answer to our customers’ specific needs. We also offer customizable safety helmets that can display an organization’s logo. We also offer safety helmets with themed patterns (for instance, with the Quebec flag image).

Depending on the workers’ needs, safety accessories may be added to safety helmets. Popular additions are protective face shields and visors, hearing protection, front lights, chinstraps, and helmet linings for protection against the cold.

Hearing Protection
In a noisy environment, the regular use of hearing protection is essential to protect your hearing and your ear health. The use of hearing protectors should never be neglected, even when the noise does not cause any obvious pain or injury. The deterioration of hearing happens gradually and when it becomes noticeable it is already too late.

The choice of hearing protection equipment should be primarily based on ambient noise levels. Current standards require lowering the ambient noise level below 90 dB. Hearing protection equipment should mitigate noise and loud sounds while allowing users to capture emergency messages.

Eye & Face Protection
Whether you need the simple protection of a clear safety eyewear or the specialised safety of a tinted eyewear, Sylprotec has what you need.

To make an informed choice regarding safety eyewear, one must reckon with many criteria. First, it is recommended to choose a CSA approved safety eyewear because this certification is a quality guarantee. Thereafter, select a model which you find comfortable and which suits your needs. For example, if one has a small face, it is best to choose a small frame, and if one works with liquids, goggles are more suitable.

Sylprotec offers a wide range of safety eyewear from several recognized manufacturers. We have a wide choice to satisfy all tastes and all purses. We suggest you look at our selection on our website or contact our customer service.

Respiratory Protection
In this section you will find effective respiratory protection equipment ranging from the simple but no less useful disposable respirator to the air supplied respirator which can almost protect you on the moon. The choice of respiratory protection equipment will however depend on a number of elements such as the type of contaminant, its concentration, under which state of matter it is found and in which working environment? These information are particularly important if one must work in an industrial setting where there are increased fatal risks, in an environment deprived in oxygen or in an environment presenting a significant risk of explosion. It may be difficult to get all the answers in particular when it comes to minor structural maintenance work such as carpentry, painting, or when using common chemicals.

To make an informed choice as for respirators, one must absolutely know under which state of matter the contaminant is found and in which concentration. Is it more of a dust or fumes?

If you have no clue of the environment in which you will work and know nothing about the contaminants, it is best advised to contact us instead of buying anything.

We offer a wide variety of respiratory protection equipment:
- Disposable respirators for dust; N95, R95, N100
- Half facepiece respirators of silicone or thermoplastic
- Full facepiece respirators of thermoplastic
