Updated Products PROTECCIÓN LABORAL 60 | 3oTrimestre09 3M Peltor Solaris G3000 with lifetime indicator Consistent with 3M’s innovation and development process, seeking improve- ments to better protect users, the company launched a new design of the 3M G3000 Solaris helmet, sturdy and with a shorter visor. When working outdoors, the sun’s ultraviolet rays gradually degrade hel- mets, eventually putting the safety of the wearer at risk. The problem is that it is hard to tell the difference between a new and a UV aged helmet. Many helmets are worn beyond the point at which they should have been discarded. Following exhaustive research work 3M now intro- duces the UV Indicator, a patented lifetime indicator located at the back of the G2000 helmet and now also available with the G3000. With the passage of time and the helmet’s exposure to sunlight, the red Uvi- cator will gradually fade. When it has turned completely white, then it’s time to change the helmet. The new helmet also includes improve- ments such as the three-point strapping system available in all products in this range, designed specifically for work in the heights. In brief, the wheel adjustment sys- tem will also be available, in addition to the standard system. Sleek and with round edges to avoid possi- ble entanglement with branches, as for instance in the forestry sector, ventilation is optimized by means of more holes than those in conventional helmets. The short visor increases vision field and the 180° rotating head harness enables the peak to be placed at the rear, ideal for working in confined spaces or when climbing. The G3000 safety helmet has been designed in close collaboration with forestry and industry workers, conceived to withstand harsh conditions while offer- ing efficient protection, excellent ventila- tion and maximum vision field. Certified in accordance to EN 397 standards. 3M Speedglas 100 Graphics welding screen 3M is a leader in welding safety, with a full range of personal protective equipment products for welders.
