Work safe. Hard hats are your first line of defense and reduce the risk of severe and sometimes fatal injuries. We offer a large selection of head protection products including hard hats, bump caps, chain saw helmets and more. Numerous colors of hard hats and bump caps are available. Our selection makes it easy to choose the right hard hat that best fits your profession.
Wearing a hard hat is very important, because it protects the most delicate part of your body, your head. Hard hats have numerous features that help keep your head safe; the rigid shell deflects and resists blows to the head, the suspension system inside the had acts as a shock absorber, it shields your face, neck, scalp and shoulders against spills and splashes, and some hard hats can have a faceshield installed to protect your face.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) states that helmets purchased after July 5, 1994, must comply with the performance guidelines in the ANSI Z89.1-1986, American National Standard for Personal Protection—Protective Headwear for Industrial Workers Requirements. ANSI Z89.1-1986 separates protective helmets into different types and classes of helmets. Type 1 helmets incorporate a full brim, which mean the brim encircles the dome of the hat. Type 2 helmets do not have a brim, but may include a short bill similar to a baseball hat. They are also broken up into classes.
When choosing the right hard hat for you, consider the following; your hard hat should first be made from polyethylene, which is a tough material and it should come with adjustable straps for tightening or loosening the hat to ensure your hat does not fall off. Other options to take in consideration are color, headband adjustment, weight, and durability.
Colors may be required at construction firms in order to distinguish between trades or workers and visitors to give an idea of who is on site and who is not. Headband adjustment, similar to ones found on a bicycle helmet, allows you to adjust your hard hat to a comfort fit. The weight of the hard hat is important if you wear your hat all day, the lighter the better, and manufacturers are continually looking to make their hats lighter. Finally, make sure the the hard hat is durable and will always work for you from one job site to the next.
