|  helmets behind wood chippers
gday everyone  Was wondering wat is the choice of helmets people are using we currently use peltor hard hats and ear muffs but they will no longer be available in australia(so we are told by our supplier). We do not climb as we have a 75 ft gmj travel tower for this make life easier  the helmets need to be of australian standards as we are a local council in geelong the earmuffs need to have a dBA rating of 29 or better. Our chippers produce 114 dBA. The safe working limit is 85dBA. (114 - 85 = 29) as we use veermeer wood chippers as the helmets would need to be able have a face shield attached to the helmet preferably meshAny help would be appreciated  cheers glenn |

Your basic husky or stihl helmets with peltor III chipper muffs and an extended face sheild would suffice.

Peltor are still available to my knowledge. Best use the peltor H10 twin cups for prolonged exposure to high noise environments - there is no cure for tinitus! Arborgeen are a NSW based mail order supplier I use. I rate them.

the Husqvarna helmets are a great allround helmet to use in the tree or on the ground. and it comes with the mesh visor and the clip on ear muffs.
