Construction Hard Hats

Type 1 Hard Hats are designed to protect the top of the head from impacts. They are typically used in environments where the primary hazard is falling objects striking the head from above. ANSI Z89.1 defines the standards for these hard hats.

Type 2 Hard Hats protect from top impacts and lateral impacts, which can occur from blows to the side, front, or back of the head. This type of hard hat is typically used in environments with a risk of lateral and vertical impacts. They meet the more stringent ANSI Z89.1-2009 standards, which include rigorous tests for impact and penetration resistance from all directions.

Hard hats are classified into three main categories based on their electrical insulation properties: Class G (General), Class E (Electrical), and Class C (Conductive).

Class G (General) Hard Hats are designed to reduce impact force and provide limited protection against electrical conductors, offering up to 2,200 volts of protection. They are commonly used in construction and other general applications.

Class E (Electrical) Hard Hats offer the highest level of electrical protection, up to 20,000 volts. They are essential for electricians and workers exposed to high-voltage environments.

Class C (Conductive) Hard Hats do not provide any electrical insulation and are primarily designed to protect against impact and penetration. They are typically used when electrical hazards, such as in certain industrial and manufacturing settings, are not a concern.

Each classification ensures that workers have the appropriate level of protection for their specific work conditions.

The main difference between vented and non-vented hard hats is their design and functionality regarding airflow and impact protection.

Vented Hard Hats have small vents or holes in the shell to allow air circulation, which helps keep the wearer cool and comfortable, particularly in hot or strenuous work environments. However, because of these vents, they do not protect against electrical hazards and are not suitable for environments where there is a risk of electrical shock.

Non-Vented Hard Hats have a solid shell with no vents, providing better protection against electrical hazards. They are designed to protect against impacts, penetration, and electrical shocks, making them suitable for use in environments where electrical safety is a concern. Non-vented hard hats are often used in construction, electrical work, and other industries where protection from electrical hazards is essential.

Choosing between vented and non-vented hard hats depends on the job's specific safety requirements and working conditions.

Our construction hard helmets are vibrant lime/yellow and classic white. These colors enhance visibility and safety on the job site. Our safety hard hats adjust to head sizes 6 ½” to 8,” and they pair perfectly with our construction safety clothes.

White Construction Hard Hats

White construction hard hats ensure visibility and safety while providing a professional look ideal for site managers and engineers.

Lime/Yellow Construction Hard Hats

Lime/yellow construction hard hats offer high visibility, making them essential for workers in busy or low-light environments to ensure safety and visibility.

Our construction hard hats have various features designed to ensure safety and comfort. Available features include:

Construction Hard Hats Features and Benefits

• 6PT and 4PT Ratchet Suspension Systems: Provide an adjustable and secure fit, ensuring the hard hat remains on the head and absorbs shock even during active work.
• Vented Design Available: Offers improved air circulation, keeping the wearer cool and comfortable in working conditions.where electrical hazards are not present.
• High-Density Polyethylene Construction: Ensures durability and reliable protection against impact.
• Full-brim and Standard-brim Options: Offer extra protection against sun and rain, while standard-brims are lighter and more versatile.
• ANSI Rated and OSHA Compliant: Meets rigorous safety standards and is suitable for various industrial settings that require Type 1, Class G, E, and C safety hard hats.
• Hi-Visibility Colors: Available in hi-vis lime and bright white, enhancing visibility and safety on the worksite.
• Elastic Band for Sun Shade Attachment: This elastic band increases protection from sun exposure and is compatible with neck shades for extended coverage.

4-point ratchet hard hats have a suspension system that connects to the hat at four points. They provide a standard level of protection by distributing the force of an impact across these four suspension points. These hard hats are suitable for many general construction and industrial environments.

6-point ratchet hard hats feature a suspension system that connects at six points, offering enhanced protection by distributing the force of an impact more effectively. This system can better absorb and dissipate energy, providing a higher level of safety. Additionally, 6-point hard hats are often considered more comfortable due to the even distribution of weight and pressure, which reduces the likelihood of pressure points. They are ideal for high-risk environments such as heavy construction and mining.

Our construction safety hard hats use durable, high-quality materials for longevity and safety. The high visibility reflective materials enhance visibility in low-light conditions, which is crucial for worker safety. They work well in combination with our construction shirts.

Our Construction Hard Hats Reflective Materials

• High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE): Used for the hard hat shell, providing high-impact resistance.
• Reflective Tape Options: Available for increased visibility in low-light conditions and crucial for worker safety.
• Polyethylene Foam: Used in suspension systems for comfort and shock absorption.
• Nylon Straps: Durable and adjustable to secure the fit.
• Vented Mesh Panels: Incorporated in vented models for better breathability.
• Moisture-Wicking Fabric: Lined on the interior to enhance comfort by reducing sweat build-up.

Customization options for our construction hard hats include adding a company logo by our in-house art department, allowing for enhanced corporate branding and personalization.
