Class A Hard Hats: protect against impact, penetration and low-voltage electrical conductors. For certification, sample shells are proof-tested at 2,200 volts of electrical charge.

Which hard hat protects against high voltage?

Class E (Electrical) Hard Hats are designed to reduce exposure to high voltage conductors, and offer dielectric protection up to 20,000 volts (phase to ground).

What is a Type 2 Class E hard hat?

Side- and top-protecting full-brim hard hats (Type 2, Class E) are used where swinging objects such as hooks and chains pose a hazard. They have a full brim around the entire hat to reduce glare and help shade the eyes, face, and neck in bright sunlight.
