STAY SAFE. STAY PRODUCTIVE.
UNDERSTANDING THE GUIDANCE
SAFETY. TAKEN SERIOUSLY. By designing cordless tools without compromise, and creating a range of PPE designed around user needs, at MILWAUKEE ® , we’re making the jobsite safer and more productive every day. Today, we’re proud to boast over 215 Cordless Tools on our M18™ platform and over 95 Cordless Tools on our M12™ platform, eliminating trip hazards from the jobsite. We’ve redefined the light equipment market with the launch of our MX Fuel™ range, preventing the need for petrol on the jobsite with the launch of key tools including the 350mm Cut Off Saw, and Cordless Breaker. Personal Protective Equipment has seen little innovation over the years, driving users to modify their gear to better meet their needs. By taking time to understand our users’ needs, we have developed PPE from the ground up, enabling users to adapt to each job. This has paved the way for innovative solutions such as our new safety glasses that can be worn all day with lasting, fog-free lenses.

HEAD PROTECTION STANDARDS
EN397: EN12492 HEAD PROTECTION
GLOVES 70% OF WORKERS WHO EXPERIENCED
EN397 is a European standard that sets out the requirements for industrial safety helmets. The standard applies to helmets intended to provide protection against falling objects and other types of head impact in industrial settings. The EN397 standard specifies a number of requirements that a helmet must meet to be considered suitable for industrial use. These requirements include: 1. Resistance to impact: The helmet must be able to withstand a specified level of impact energy without breaking or deforming. 2. Penetration resistance: The helmet must be able to resist the penetration of objects that may strike the head, such as nails, screws or sharp objects. 3. Shock absorption: The helmet must be designed to absorb the force of an impact and distribute it evenly across the head.

4. Retention system: The helmet must have a chin strap or other retention system to keep it securely on the head.
5. Field of vision: The helmet must provide an adequate field of vision for the wearer.
MILWAUKEE® is committed to creating innovative solutions that help users stay safe and stay productive on the jobsite.
6. Resistance to flame: The helmet must not ignite or continue to burn after exposure to a flame.
7. Electrical insulation: The helmet must provide protection against electric shocks.
EN397 is one of the most widely recognized standards for industrial safety helmets in Europe and is often used as a basis for certification and testing by third-party organizations.
