Hard Hat

Two types of hard hats

• Type 1 Hard Hats. Type I hard hats are designed specifically to provide protection from falling objects

• Type 2 Hard Hats - Type II hard hats provide protection from falling objects, but they also offer protection from lateral impact. This could be from running into the corner of a steel beam, having a projectile fly across a room, or any other risk to the sides or back of the head.
