Helmet for work at height and
rescue
Field of application
This helmet is designed only for
work at height and rescue.
The VERTEX BEST meets all
requirements of the EN 397
standard, except for the chin
strap. The chinstrap has a strength
of 50 daN (requirement of the
EN 12492 standard) to help keep the
helmet on the head in case of a fall.
The VERTEX BEST meets optional
requirements of EN 397: Protection
against impacts down to -30 °C,
resistance to lateral deformation,
protection against accidental contact
with live conductors up to 440 V AC
and protection against molten metal
splash.
Electrical standards:
- EN 397: this helmet protects
against accidental contact with live
conductors up to 440 V AC.
- ANSI Z89.1-2009 class E: The
helmet was tested at a voltage of
20000 V, but this does not in any
way guarantee protection against
electric shocks at this voltage. The
standard guarantees protection
against electric shocks resulting
from accidental contact between the
helmet and a live electric device.
Do not use this helmet in activities
for which it is not designed.
Activities at height present a risk
of serious head injury. Wearing a
helmet can significantly reduce this
risk, but cannot entirely eliminate it.
In a major impact, the helmet
deforms to absorb the maximum
amount of energy possible,
sometimes to the point of destroying
the helmet.
WARNING
Activities involving the use of
this equipment are inherently
dangerous.
You are responsible for your own
actions and decisions.
Before using this product, you must:
- Read and understand all
instructions for use.
- Get specific training in its proper
use.
- Become acquainted with its
capabilities and limitations.
- Understand and accept the risks
involved.
Failure to heed any of these
warnings may result in severe
injury or death.
Responsibility
WARNING, specific training in the
activities defined in the field of
application is essential before use.
This product must only be used by
competent and responsible persons,
or those placed under the direct and
visual control of a competent and
A165060D (110211)
2
responsible person.
Gaining an adequate
apprenticeship in
appropriate techniques
and methods of protection is your
own responsibility.
You personally assume all risks
and responsibilities for all damage,
injury or death which may occur
during or following incorrect use
of our products in any manner
whatsoever. If you are not able, or
not in a position to assume this
responsibility or to take this risk, do
not use this equipment.

Inspection, points to
verify
Before each use, check the condition
of the shell and the headband
attachment system (verify there
are no cracks or deformation on
the outside or the inside...). Check
the condition of the webbing and
stitching. Verify that the headband
adjustment system and chinstrap
buckle are functioning properly.
WARNING, a major impact to the
helmet can significantly reduce its
protective properties without leaving
visible signs of damage. Retire your
helmet after a major impact.
Consult the details of the inspection
procedure to be carried out for each
item of PPE on the Web at www.
petzl.com/ppe
Contact PETZL if there is any doubt
about the condition of this product.
Instructions for use
1. Preparation
Use only the smooth areas for
stickers and other markings. PETZL
stickers are approved. Do not
apply paint, solvents, adhesives
or self-adhesive labels, except
those recommended by PETZL
instructions. (Paint is prohibited
on CSA Z94.1-05 type 1 class E
helmets.)
2. Adjustments
2a. Adjust the headband to
maximum size using the adjustment
wheels and place the helmet on
your head.
2b. Position the adjusters under
the ears. To adjust the chinstrap
backwards or forwards, slide the
webbing through the chinstrap
positioning buckles.
2c. Use the adjustment wheels to
increase or decrease the size of the
headband. You can adjust the height
of the headband on your forehead
(two adjustment holes for the
vertical position of the headband).
2d. Fasten the chinstrap using
the buckle. You must hear the
buckle “click” to ensure proper
fastening. Tighten the chinstrap to
fit comfortably. A correctly adjusted
chinstrap reduces the risk of the
helmet coming off accidentally.
You must pull on the chinstrap to
verify that the buckle is properly
fastened.
To open the buckle, press the button
on the chinstrap fastening buckle.
2e. Adjust the vertical position of
the headband adjustment system on
your nape by sliding it up or down
along the webbing.
ATTENTION, be sure there is no
slack in the webbing between the
headband adjustment system and
the shell of the helmet.
