Type II Climbing Safety Helmet | ANSI Z89.1 | Full Impact Protection
The Type II Climbing Safety Helmet is an ANSI Z89.1 Class C safety helmet designed for workers who need secure head protection during construction, utilities, confined space work, elevated work, industrial maintenance, tower support, and active jobsite movement.
Unlike many traditional Type I hard hats that are designed primarily for top-impact protection, this Type II safety helmet is designed to help protect against impacts to both the top and sides of the head. The climbing-style helmet design includes a 4-point chin strap to help keep the helmet secure when workers are climbing, bending, moving through tight spaces, or working where helmet retention is important.
The lightweight ABS shell supports durability and comfort, while the adjustable ratchet suspension helps workers dial in a secure fit. Accessory-ready attachment points allow compatible visors, earmuffs, and headlamps to be added when required by the jobsite safety program. Clear and tinted visor attachments and earmuff accessories are sold separately.
This is a Class C conductive safety helmet, which means it is intended for impact protection where electrical insulation is not required. Do not use Class C head protection for energized electrical work or areas where electrical hazard protection is needed.
Bulk Ordering & Procurement Support
Need Type II safety helmets for a construction crew, municipal department, public works team, utility contractor, confined space crew, industrial facility, or work-at-height program?

Safety Note
Head protection should be selected based on the workplace hazard assessment. OSHA requires protective helmets where employees may be exposed to head injury from falling objects, impact hazards, or electrical hazards. This helmet is ANSI Z89.1 Type II, Class C. Class C helmets do not provide electrical insulation.

Buying Guide: Type II Helmet vs. Standard Hard Hat
Choose a Type II safety helmet when workers face possible side-impact hazards, climbing movement, confined spaces, elevated work, scaffolding, or active jobsite conditions where helmet retention matters.
Choose a standard Type I hard hat when the main hazard is overhead falling objects and side-impact or retention risk is not a major concern.
Choose Class E instead of Class C if workers may be exposed to electrical hazards. Class C helmets should not be used around energized electrical conductors.
FAQ
What does Type II mean on a safety helmet?
Type II means the helmet is designed to help protect against impacts to both the top and sides of the head.
What does Class C mean?
Class C means the helmet is conductive and does not provide electrical insulation. It should not be used for energized electrical work.
Does this helmet include a chin strap?
Yes. It includes a 4-point chin strap to help keep the helmet secure during active movement, climbing, or confined space work.
Is this the same as a regular hard hat?
No. This is a climbing-style Type II safety helmet. It is designed for top and lateral impact protection, while many traditional hard hats are Type I and focused mainly on top impact.
Can accessories be added?
