Period
1956
Canada
The helmet was manufactured by the Safety Supply Company, which operated in Canada from 1936 until 1992 when the company became known as Safety Supply Canada. By 1994 the company was no longer listed in the Canadian Trade Index. The company was listed as having manufactured a “Safe-T” line of products. Mr. John Udd is a mining engineer and the helmet was used in 1956 as part of his personal safety gear at the Hardy Mine (owned by Falconbridge Nickel) in Levack, Ont. Recently retired (2009) as the Principal Scientist-Mining with Natural Resources Canada’s Minerals and Metals Sector, Mr. Udd has worked at McGill University Faculty of Mining Engineering, Falconbridge Nickel Mines, and was the Director of the Mining and Research Laboratories of the federal government from 1984 – 1996.
Function
The helmet was worn by miners when working underground to help prevent and reduce the severity of head injuries. The lamp holder, located on the front of the helmet, was used to attach a miner’s lamp.
Technical
The helmet is typical of a molded fibreglass helmet. It is important to note that molded fibreglass is just one of the materials used for safety helmets and it is markedly different in shape and materials than a contemporary (2010) safety helmet.
