What is a Type II Hard Hat?

Type II hard hats are designed to protect against both vertical and lateral impacts, including blows to the front, back, and sides of the head. Unlike Type I helmets, which only protect from above, Type II helmets provide enhanced protection for environments with moving equipment, tight spaces, or elevated risk conditions.

When Should You Use Type II Hard Hats?

Type II helmets are recommended when workers are exposed to:

-Side impacts from equipment or materials
-Slips, trips, and falls
-Confined or congested workspaces
-Elevated or multi-level work areas

Common industries include:

-Automotive manufacturing
-Warehousing and distribution
-Utilities and energy
-Construction and fabrication

ANSI & OSHA Compliance

All Type II hard hats and safety helmets meet ANSI Z89.1 standards for top and lateral impact protection. OSHA requires appropriate head protection based on workplace hazards, and Type II helmets are often recommended where lateral impacts are a concern.
