Circular Title:

There is difference between Safety Helmet & Crash helmet*

Deptt./Section:

System*

Never Expired : Yes

It has been observed that people are wearing Safety Helment during Two wheeler driving.
It neither protects your head on crash, nor it full-fills the statutory requirement under traffic rule.

It has been observed that one fatal accident has occured infront of weigh bridge 3 years back & the employee could not get the head protection as he was wearing Safety Helmet not " THE CRASH HELMET".

During crash the "CRASH HELMET" is designed to take the impact & it crashes itself without transferring impact on head/skull, giving it protection ,

where as Safety Helmet first flies leaving head unprotected or transfers good impact to head, hence it is not at all a head protection gear for two wheeler drivers/riders.

Yesturday similar accident has happened and Safety helmet was ineffective during impact.

Safety helmet is recommended for use in Plant,while you are working, it protects your head when you are standing or moving slowly & fall of object is from height on your head.

So, every body is requested to use "CRASH HELMET" only,when you are driving a two wheeler.

YOU ARE NO.1 TO YOUR FAMILY.
YOUR FAMILY IS WAITING FOR YOUR SAFE RETURNS.
DONT MISUSE SAFETY HELMET,
IT GIVES FALSE SENSE OF SAFETY,WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING TWO WHEELERS.
