Honeywell North Front Brim Hard Hat, Type 2, Class E ANSI Classification, Matterhorn A89, Ratchet (4-Point)

Technical Specifications

Product Description

Side- and top-protecting front-brim hard hats (Type 2, Class E) have a front brim to reduce glare and help shade the eyes and face in bright sunlight. They are Type 2 to provide protection against vertical and angled impacts up to 60°. Type 2 hard hats have more padding, which generally makes them heavier and more bulky than Type 1 hard hats. They are rated Class E for high-voltage electrical protection up to 20KV. Type 2 helmets should be worn when indicated by OSHA or where swinging objects (such as hooks or chains) are a concern.

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.
