Yoko Safety bump cap (TFC100)

Product Overview

The Yoko YK106 Safety Bump Cap provides a sophisticated solution for professionals requiring lightweight head protection without the bulk of a traditional hard hat. Designed to bridge the gap between a standard baseball cap and industrial safety gear, this garment offers essential protection against minor bumps and scrapes while maintaining a smart, corporate appearance. Fully compliant with EN812:2012 safety standards, it is an indispensable piece of equipment for scalp protection in specific work environments.

Key Features

• EN812:2012 Compliance: Certified to provide reliable protection against the effects of striking the head against hard, stationary objects.
• Durable Outer Fabric: Constructed from high-quality PU coated nylon, providing a shower-proof barrier for outdoor work.
• Reflective Visibility: Equipped with reflective piping around the peak and rear adjustment to enhance wearer visibility in low-light conditions.
• Integrated Safety Shell: Features a robust polycarbonate inner shell designed to absorb energy from minor impacts.
• Optimised Ventilation: Mesh eyelets and mesh grills are strategically placed to improve airflow and prevent heat build-up.

Design & Performance

This bump cap is engineered from a durable polyester fabric that offers longevity in demanding settings. The internal polycarbonate shell is the core safety element, providing a rigid barrier between the wearer and potential hazards. To ensure long-term comfort, the design incorporates a cotton sweatband that manages moisture during physical activity, ensuring the wearer remains focused on the task at hand.

Performance is further enhanced by high-density foam pads that cushion the head, while the adjustable rear strap allows for a secure, personalised fit. The use of hi-vis fabric in specific colourways ensures that this cap contributes to the overall safety profile of the wearer in busy work environments.

Customisation: Print & Embroidery

The Yoko YK106 features a dedicated front badging area, specifically designed for customisation. For a professional and authoritative finish, we recommend embroidery for company logos and individual names. The textured finish of embroidery provides a superior look that stands up well to regular wear.

For larger, high-impact designs, transfer print is an excellent alternative, offering crisp detail and vibrant colour. Since 1976, our Telford-based team has specialised in customising workwear, and the removable cover of this bump cap makes it particularly well-suited for high-quality branding. Whether you choose print or embroidery, our in-house experts ensure your brand is represented with precision.

Use Cases

This safety bump cap is ideal for workers in sectors such as logistics, warehousing, automotive engineering, and maintenance. It is specifically designed for environments where there is a risk of bumping the head against fixed objects, such as under-vehicle work or within narrow shelving units, but where a full industrial safety helmet is not a mandatory requirement.

Practical Advice

The YK106 is a one-size-fits-all garment, with an adjustable rear strap to accommodate various head sizes securely. It is important to note that a bump cap is not a substitute for an EN397 industrial safety helmet; it should only be used in areas where falling objects are not a risk. Ensure the inner shell is correctly seated within the cover before each use to maintain maximum protection.

Caring for your product

To maintain the professional appearance and safety efficacy of your bump cap, regular maintenance is required. The fabric cover is machine washable, which is essential for hygiene and removing the inevitable build-up of dirt and perspiration in a work environment.

We recommend cleaning the product according to the machine wash instructions to prevent the degradation of the fabric and the reflective piping. Regular inspection of the internal polycarbonate shell is also advised; if the shell shows any signs of cracking or significant impact damage, it should be replaced immediately to ensure continued protection.
