3M H-700 Series Hard Hat with Uvicator™ Sensor monitors ultraviolet light-exposure
Workers have an easy way to monitor their hard hat exposure to the sun thanks to the new 3M H-700 Series Hard Hat equipped with a Uvicator™ Sensor. The smart sensor changes color from red to white as the hard hat is exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light, alerting the wearer when it’s due for a replacement.
“Over time, the sun’s UV rays can cause a hard hat’s shell to become brittle and compromise its ability to protect the wearer,” says Chris Dujovski, product manager, Head, Eye and Face safety business, 3M. “Adding a sun-smart sensor to our H-700 hard hats helps provide an easily observable indication when it’s time to take the hard hat out of service due to UV light overexposure.”
