Safety Classification and OSHA Requirements

Type I means top-impact protection. A full brim does not make this a Type II helmet or establish lateral-impact protection. Class E is an electrical classification, not permission to contact energized equipment. Select head protection through the workplace hazard assessment and use all other required PPE.

OSHA 29 CFR 1910.135 addresses protective helmets for falling-object hazards and electrical protection where exposed conductors could contact the head. OSHA 29 CFR 1926.100 covers head protection in construction. These are employer requirements, not OSHA product approvals.

Inspection and Accessory Selection

Inspect the shell and suspension before and after use. Replace the helmet after an impact or penetration, and follow MSA’s service-life instructions. Do not continue using damaged components. Face protection, hearing protection and winter liners must be compatible with the particular helmet assembly; accessory slots do not guarantee that every attachment fits.

Manufacturer Technical Sheet

MSA V-Gard Full Brim Hat technical specifications (PDF) provides construction, classification and care information. This July 2015 family sheet includes multiple suspension options and manufacturer ordering quantities. Follow ASA’s selected product configuration and order options. The standards above follow MSA’s model 475369 listing; check the supplied helmet’s markings and instructions.

FAQ

Is 475369 the part number for every color?

No. MSA identifies 475369 as white. Other colors use separate manufacturer part numbers.

Does the brim replace safety glasses or a face shield?

No. Brim coverage does not replace eye or face protection required for the task.

Is this a Type II hard hat?

No. This V-Gard full brim model is Type I, Class E. Choose a separately rated Type II helmet when lateral-impact protection is required.
