Jackson Safety XS2-500 Type 2 Safety Helmet, Non-Vented

Dielectric Class E Shell With Headlamp Clips and a Micro-Brim That Clears a Hatch | Jackson Safety

Product Overview

The Jackson Safety XS2-500 non-vented safety helmet carries a dielectric shell rated Class E, headlamp and headband clips, and a micro-brim short enough to clear a hatch rim. Dielectric means the shell does not conduct electricity, so it can be worn near live equipment. Both sit in the same special features field, which is not the case on every model in the line.

Key Features

• Dielectric shell rated Class E: SureWerx lists dielectric among the special features for this model, and the shell carries no vent openings. It is rated ANSI Type 2 Class E and CSA Type 2 Class E, which is what a site specifies when live conductors are within reach. A dielectric safety helmet is what a spec sheet calls for when the crew opens panels or works around live gear.
• Headlamp clips on a Class E shell: The same special features list includes headlamp and headband clips. That pairing is worth checking before an order goes in, because the vented XS2-500 lists the clips without the dielectric rating, and the non-vented BLOCKHEAD2 lists the dielectric rating without the clips. A Class E safety helmet that also takes a light means nobody carries a separate lamp into a vault.
• Micro-brim that clears the hatch: The brim is short enough to keep a sightline open when a worker looks up and to clear a hatch rim or a ladder cage where a full brim catches. It still channels rain to the sides rather than onto the face. A low profile safety helmet is easier to live with on a ladder than a wide brim.
• Non-vented, and what you trade for it: The solid shell is what makes the electrical rating possible. A non-vented safety helmet runs warmer than a vented one on a hot afternoon, and that is the honest trade. The 6-point Comfort Plus suspension moves some air underneath, though it does not replace shell venting.

Colours and Product Numbers

Every Class E safety helmet in the range uses the same shell and carries the same rating. A hi-vis safety helmet in orange or green is rated exactly as the black one is.

Applications

The Jackson Safety XS2-500 non-vented safety helmet suits work that mixes low light, tight overhead clearance and possible electrical contact. A dielectric safety helmet is the baseline anywhere panels and motors stay live while the crew is inside.

• Lift station and wet well entry around pumps, motors and control panels
• Vault and chamber work where a full brim catches on the rim
• Electrical maintenance in plant and process areas
• Night and shoulder-season shifts where the light rides on the helmet
• Roadside and municipal crews specifying a hi-vis safety helmet

A safety helmet for electrical work does not replace confined space procedure. No head protection carries a confined space rating, and entry still needs atmospheric monitoring, ventilation, retrieval gear and a permit. If the crew has no electrical exposure and wants shell venting, the vented XS2-500 is Class C and carries the same clips.
