Repairs – The only repairs you are per-
mitted to make on your protective
helmet are the removal and
replacement of the entire impact cap
and suspension, the removal and
installation of ear covers, the removal
and replacement of the EZ Touch eye
protector, the removal and replace-
ment of the chin strap, the addition of
supplemental goggles or faceshields,
and changing the front leather shield of
the helmet. Detailed instructions for
these repairs are included in this guide
and on the Honeywell website. Do not
attempt to conduct any other types of
repairs of your helmet. Your protective
helmet must be repaired only by
A
Morning Pride or an organization that
has been qualified by Honeywell First
Responder Products. If your helmet is
damaged, report the damage to your
supervisor, department, or organization
and obtain a new helmet to replace the
damaged helmet.
Retirement and Disposal
The decision for the continued service of
your protective helmet must be made by a
qualified individual within your depart-
B
ment or organization. Typical reasons for
retiring a helmet include but are not limited
to the following:
• The shell shows signs of major
laminate failure/breakage. This will
take the form of either deep
indentations from falling objects or
major crushing. It may also be seen
as a whitening of the laminate in the
C
impact area when the inside of the
shell is inspected.
• The brim area has severe crack lines
or flexes abnormally.
• The helmet has obviously suffered
excessive heat or burning. This
includes any charring of the paint or
helmet substrate. Charring is
described as an actual burnt area or
surface damage that cannot be
repaired by sanding or repainting.
• There is visual sign of acid or
chemical residue, which may
damage the shell paint or substrate.
• The shell shape is distorted. This can
be seen as sagging or drooping
when it is compared to a new helmet.
If you have any doubts about your
protective helmet and its condition, bring
Post
this matter to the attention of your
supervisor, department, or organization
immediately. Protective helmets that are
no longer deemed serviceable for
reasons of damage, contamination, or
other unsafe condition must be disposed
of in a fashion whereby the helmet
cannot be reused. One example is
drilling holes in the shell, removing the
chinstrap and suspension, and
damaging the tabs for attaching the
headband. Contaminated helmets must
be disposed of by your department or
organization in accordance with federal,
state/provincial, or local regulations.
If your head, face, neck, or other parts
of your body are burned or injured
while you are wearing your protective
helmet, that helmet must be removed
from service and retained by your
department or organization for an
appropriate period as determined by
your department or organization.
