    Flame- and Arc-Flash-Protection Hats

    Protect your head from flames and arc flashes while keeping sweat and sun out of your eyes. These hats meet NFPA 70E standards for arc flash protection. They’re rated PPE category 2, which is the most common arc flash standard for industrial applications. Made of a cotton/nylon blend, these hats resist flames and withstand wear. They’re also breathable to keep you cool in hot environments. Adjust the hook-and-loop strap on the back to secure them on your head.
    Check the PPE category and minimum arc rating provided for your workplace, and select all required clothing and personal protective equipment to meet that rating. Arc rating measures a garment’s ability to insulate the wearer from burns; the higher the arc rating, the greater the flame resistance.

    Protect your face from low-level arc flashes when a full hood is not necessary.
    All hard hats have a ratchet suspension that adjusts with an easy-turn knob.
    Flip-Up Lens—The lens on these shields flips up, so you can keep your hard hat on during breaks from electrical work.
    Green Lens—Shields with a green lens have a light tint that absorbs visible light and blocks glare. They let through 55% of visible light. While the green tint reduces glare, it also distorts colors, which may limit your ability to distinguish them.
    Bronze Lens/Gray Lens—Shields with a bronze or gray lens allow all wavelengths of visible light to pass through without distorting colors. They’re ideal for electrical workers who work with colored wires or electrical tape.
    PPE Category 2—These shields meet NFPA 70E standards for protection against electrical arc flashes for personal protective equipment (PPE) category 2.
    Chin Guard—Shields with a chin guard protect your face from below.
    Side Guards—Shields with side guards extend protection on the sides.
    ANSI/ISEA Z87.1—The shields meet ANSI/ISEA Z87.1 basic impact standards when worn with safety glasses or goggles.
