Choosing the proper head protection is vital to employee safety and confidence. PRO-SAFE hard hats are Class C (Conductive) and Type I (Top Impact), meaning they are not intended for use near electrical hazards and are designed to reduce the force of impact to the top of the head.
The suspension system inside hard hats helps to absorb the force of an impact. The more suspension points, the more dispersion of force. Hard hats are available with 4-point suspension systems, or more protective 6-point suspension systems.
There should be a small amount of breathing room between the internal suspension structure and the hard shell. You can adjust the fit of your hard hat using one of these two methods:
Outside factors can cause hard hats to age faster than their printed expiration date. Ask yourself these questions:
Have you had your hard hat for 3 or more years?
Is your hard hat fading, chalky or brittle?
Is your hard hate dented, cut or scuffed?
Has your hard hat suffered an impact?
Do you often leave your hard hat in your car?
