Customer insight guides Centurion’s latest safety helmet system

Centurion, the leading above-the-neck personal protective equipment specialist, is providing an innovative solution to meet customer requirements with the modular Nexus range.

After carrying out extensive research* into customer insights and current market trends, Centurion has developed its leading head protection system, Nexus, which will provide greater safety on site to protect workers from falls from height and any potential falling hazards.

The multi award-winning Nexus range, received both a commended award at the 2017 Safety Awards organised by The British Safety Industry Federation (BSIF), and award winner within the head protection section of the 2017 ISHN Readers’ Choice Awards in North America.

In addition to these proof points, the Nexus range is tested to global industrial standards EN, ANSI, CSA and AUS/NZ. To maximise versatility, the Nexus system, including the Nexus integrated eyewear, has also just recently been further tested to the antistatic/explosive atmosphere test (IEC 600079-32). It also provides wearers with the confidence that Centurion’s helmet system can be used in areas where there is a risk of explosive atmosphere, thus providing protection against electrostatic discharge.

With the amount of additional tests and certifications it passes, the Nexus safety helmet system is the only one in the world to hold this level of adaptability and multi-standard approvals.

The detachable liners and chinstraps uniquely enable the Nexus to be used both at height and ground level, making it more convenient for the user.

Its extensive research showed that liners and chin straps in existing helmets on the market can often become worn, damaged, or dirty quite quickly in everyday use and they are permanently affixed to the shell.

The Nexus system allows for easy cleaning or replacing of liners and chin straps versus existing solutions. This saves significant cost for Centurion’s clients as they do not need to replace the whole helmet system each time.
