MSA Full Brim Hard Hat, Type 1, Class G ANSI Classification, Skullgard, Ratchet (4-Point)

Heat-resisting full-brim hard hats (Type 1, Glass G) are made of heat-resistant material to prevent heat damage when used in high-heat applications such as metalworking and forging. They have a full brim around the entire hat to reduce glare and shade the face and neck in when working in direct sunlight. Type 1 hard hats provide protection from vertical impacts to the top of the head. Class G hard hats provide low-voltage protection up to 2.2KV.

Hard hats and helmets protect the wearer from hazards that impact the head. They have a suspension system that moves the impact force though the body to feet, helping to reduce strain to the head, neck, and spine. These hard hats and helmets are ANSI rated and OSHA compliant. Types and classes combine to indicate the impact type (vertical only or vertical and angled) and level of electrical protection (none, low voltage, or high voltage) provided. Hard hats and helmets should be inspected regularly for structural integrity. Hard hats are used by construction workers, road crews, or where required by OSHA safety regulations.
