Class Options for Type 1 Hard Hats
Type 1 hard hats are available in multiple classes—Class C, Class E, and Class G—each tailored to specific job site requirements:
- Class C (Conductive): The Type 1 Class C hard hat, often called a Class C helmet or Class C safety helmet, is ideal for general construction and other environments where electrical hazards are absent. The Class C hard hat voltage rating is 0 volts, as it provides no electrical insulation, prioritizing lightweight and breathable design. For added variety, options like the Type 2 Class C hard hat and Type 2 Class C safety helmet offer similar protection with additional impact coverage.
- Class E (Electrical): Known for high-voltage protection, the Class E hard hat (Electrical) offers insulation up to 20,000 volts, making it ideal for utility work, electrical construction, and similar environments. Commonly referred to as Class E helmets or Class E protective helmets, these hard hats meet rigorous electrical standards.
- Class E Voltage Rating: Rated for up to 20,000 volts, offering maximum electrical protection.
- Full Brim Options: Available in designs like the Class E full brim hard hat or Class E carbon fiber hard hat, which provide added coverage against sun and weather.
- Type 2 Variants: For expanded impact protection, the Type 2 Class E hard hat and Type 2 Class E helmet offer side-impact safety, ensuring a high level of protection across various job settings.
- Class G (General): Class G hard hats provide limited electrical protection up to 2,200 volts, meeting the needs of diverse industrial settings where moderate electrical protection is necessary. Known as Class G helmets or Class G safety helmets, these hard hats strike a balance between impact protection and electrical resistance.
- Class G Voltage Rating: Rated up to 2,200 volts, suitable for environments with minimal electrical risk.
- Versatile Usage: Common in both construction and manufacturing settings where Class G hard hat protection is sufficient for top-impact and limited electrical safety.
Each class of Type 1 hard hat is built to meet the safety requirements of different working environments. For high-voltage protection, choose a Type 1 Class E hard hat; for breathable, lightweight coverage, opt for a Type 1 Class C hard hat; and for moderate electrical safety, consider a Type 1 Class G hard hat. Ensure your team’s safety with a hard hat that combines essential protection, comfort, and style, customized to suit any job requirement.
