Bump Cap for Sena SMH10

This bump cap for the Sena SMH10 lets a ground worker or driver wear the SMH10 Bluetooth headset without a full helmet. It suits tasks where talking to the climber or crew matters but there is no overhead hazard that calls for a hard hat.

Why crews use headsets

Clear talk between the climber and ground crew makes rigging safer and faster. Hand signals and shouting over a saw or chipper both have limits. A Bluetooth headset like the SMH10 lets people talk hands-free, and a bump cap gives a light place to mount it for crew members who are away from the drop zone.

Check that the SMH10 parts and mounting fit the cap, and pair and test headsets before work starts.

Headsets earn their keep on jobs with loud machinery running. A ground worker feeding the chipper or running a lowering line can hear the climber's call without shutting anything down, and the climber can hear back that the line is ready. Agree on simple, standard commands and confirm each one so nothing is left to guesswork when the radio is open.

Know what a bump cap is for

A bump cap protects against minor knocks only. It is not a hard hat and is not rated for falling objects. Anyone in the work zone under a climber, near rigging or felling must wear an appropriately rated helmet per ANSI Z133 and site rules. Helmet-mounted systems are in communication.

Use communication gear as an addition to, not a replacement for, agreed crew commands.
