Kask Superplasma AQ Helmet
The lightweight Kask Superplasma AQ is a vented safety helmet for industrial use conforming to EN397. The Superplasma AQ’s lightness is made possible by the high-density polystyrene insert, which absorbs impact forces. The ‘weaker’ chinstrap which releases between 150N and 250N (15kg-25kg), limits the risk of choking or strangulation, making this safety helmet particularly suitable for Ambulance Hazardous Area Response Teams (HART). It also meets the optional requirements of the mountaineering Standard for helmets EN12492:
- Side deformation (LD)
- Molten metal splash (MM)
- Very low temperatures (-30°C)
- Shock absorption
- Penetration
Although a safety helmet conforming to EN397 is particularly suitable as a groundwork helmet, some Health & Safety officers accept it as a work at height safety helmet. It’s fit for purpose for both uses.
Kask Superplasma PL Helmet
The lightweight Kask Superplasma PL is a vented climbing helmet designed for industrial use and conforming to EN12492. The Super Plasma PL’s lightness is made possible by the high-density polystyrene insert, which absorbs impact forces. The strong chinstrap, which releases above 500N (50kg), ensures that the helmet stays on your head in the event of an impact. This makes it an ideal work at height helmet and also a technical rope rescue helmet.
Although the Super Plasma helmet has not been through the tests for EN397 (Industrial safety helmets), it uses exactly the same shell as the Kask Plasma AQ which has. The Superplasma therefore meets or exceeds the following tests:
- Side deformation (LD)
- Molten metal splash (MM)
- Very low temperatures (-30°C)
- Shock absorption
- Penetration

The Petzl Vertex safety helmet has an adjustable dual strength chinstrap to cater for work at height, the Wind power generation sector, rope rescue and ground work. The 6-point suspended webbing cradle contours to your head and Petzl's Centrefit system keeps the shell centred. The Flip&Fit system helps to ensure the perfect secure fit and folds into the shell for easy storage. Shock absorption is achieved through deformation of the shell.
There is a complete line of entirely modular accessories and replacement parts.
This helmet was launched in 2019 and replaces the Vertex Best helmet.
