Type 1 Hard Hats & Type I Safety Helmets

Shop Type 1 hard hats and Type I safety helmets in full-brim, cap and helmet styles. Type I identifies protection against impacts to the top of the head. Choose the required impact type and electrical class first, then compare suspension, fit, brim style and accessory compatibility.

Vented and non-vented Type 1 options

Type 1 Vented Helmets

Type 1 Non-Vented Helmets

Vented Type 1 helmets provide airflow through the shell. Choose a vented model only where its marked protection ratings suit the job hazards.

Class C head protection does not provide electrical protection. Check the exact model label and the employer's hazard assessment before selecting a vented helmet.

Vented Type 1

Non-vented Type 1 helmets and hard hats have a shell without ventilation openings. Electrical protection depends on the marked Class G or Class E rating, not on the absence of vents alone.

Some non-vented models are Class C. Verify the exact model's electrical class, fit and approved accessories against the worksite requirements.

Non-Vented Type 1

Type I impact protection and electrical class

Impact type and electrical class describe different properties. Type II head protection adds protection against off-center impacts; see our Type 2 hard hats and safety helmets when that impact rating is required. Class C provides no electrical protection. For electrical hazards, select the specified Class G or Class E model under the employer's hazard assessment and manufacturer instructions.

Compare the available MSA and Lift Safety styles by model, shell, suspension and size range. Use only approved chinstraps, face shields, hearing protection and other accessories for the selected hard hat or helmet. Neither the shell material nor a helmet-style appearance substitutes for the marked ratings.
