Hard hats must be worn in hard hat areas on construction sites and anywhere that falling objects pose a danger to workers’ safety. Hard hats have to conform to rigorous safety testing to ensure they meet stringent OSHA penetration and vertical impact requirements. The overwhelmingly popular pink hard hats from DiscountSafetyGear.com are ANSI Type 1, Class E compliant and also meet OSHA’s strict regulations.
These highly visible hard hats are made especially from a bright pink grooved HDPE (high density polyethylene) outer shell to protect female construction workers from accidental injury from falling objects. Accessory slots and rain trough shrug off showers to keep you working in all weathers. Although these attractive pink hard hats appeal to most lady construction worker’s sense of flair and fashion; they are every bit as tough as their male counterparts’ hard hats. Looking pretty in pink has never felt this safe.
Ratchet adjustments can be made quickly for just the right comfortable fit. Versatile and dependable and weighing only 10.4 ounces these hard hats prevent unnecessary weight on the head that may cause headaches. North® provides 4-point nylon suspension with 3-level height adjustment and 2 anchor points for the chin strap provide the ultimate in hard hat comfort.
As usual quantity discounts apply to this and most of our excellent quality products that are already priced so low you’ll be hard pressed to find any better offer on the net without compromising OSHA requirements and dependability.
Buy some pink safety glasses to match your brand new pink hard hat; Eva™ Petite Pink Safety Glasses fit the bill—smaller faces need smaller safety glasses to keep them where they need to be. Polycarbonate lenses block 99.9% of harmful UVA and UVB rays, and come in clear hard coat, clear with anti-fog, pink, and gray. Part of the proceeds from the sale of these safety glasses is donated to the American Cancer Society to help raise money for a cure.

When one thinks about dependable safety equipment, chances are Pyramex will be one of the first names that come to mind. Since the founding of Pyramex some 18 years ago, Pyramex has typically been mentioned amongst the most trusted and dependable names in hard hat and safety equipment in the world.
Based in Collierville, TN, Pyramex Safety Products LLC was founded in 1991. Although perhaps most notably known for their safety glasses, Pyramex hard hats are extremely reliable in their own right, and in just a few short years, Pyramex hard hats have become some of the most popular hard hats on the market.
Pyramex hard hats all feature shells that are constructed from a high-density polyethylene along with a low profile design. Pyramex hard hats also come with a replaceable soft brow pad, and they are available with a snap-lock or ratchet suspension. All Pyramex cap-style and full brim hard hats also meet ANSI Z89.1-2003 standards for Type 1 – Class C, G & E hard hats.
Perhaps the best thing of all about Pyramex hard hats is the price. Most often, Pyramex hard hats are priced much lower than the competition, even though the quality is often much higher. For example, at DiscountSafetyGear.com, Pyramex hard hats are priced just under $4 each! For the price of a Pyramex hard hat, you won’t find better quality anywhere!

Types of Hard Hats April 28, 2009

According to OSHA, any work environment that could cause workers injury by falling objects or electrical conductors requires a hard hat. That sounds simple enough, but how many people actually know what kind of hard hat they actually need for the job they’re doing? From aluminum to carbon fiber hard hats, hard hats by all manufacturers have to follow the same basic rules and regulations in the design of their hard hats.
Types of Hard Hats:
- Aluminum Hard Hats – Skull Bucket aluminum hard hats are the only aluminum hard hats on the market that comply with ANSI Z89.1-2003 standards. Aluminum hard hats can typically withstand extreme heat and they are the typical choice of most oil well firefighters. In general, aluminum hard hats are ideal for all jobs that do not require electrical hazard protection
- Bump Cap – Bump caps are designed for industries such as pest control, meat and food processing, fruit harvesting, and many others. Bump caps are typically made with Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE), and normally are constructed in one solid piece. Bump caps should not be used in lieu of a typical hard hat for protection against impacts to the head. Bump caps provide only a thin covering for the scalp to reduce exposure to abrasions and lacerations due to minor bumps
- High Visibility Hard Hats – As the name suggests, these hard hats are ideal for dimly lit working conditions. They are typical for road workers and most construction workers who work late at night
- Class A Hard Hats – Class A Hard Hats are designed to protect your head from falling objects, as well as protect you from electrical shocks up to 2,200 volts
- Class B Hard Hats – Class B Hard Hats are also designed to protect your head from falling objects. They do, however, also protect you from electrical shocks of up to 20,000 volts
- Class C Hard Hats – Class C Hard Hats are designed to protect your head from falling objects, however they do not protect you from electrical shock. Also, Class C Hard Hats are not designed to protect you from corrosive substances
