Jackson Safety 38423 Hard Hat Interchange System Adaptor

Product Description

The JACKSON SAFETY 38423 is a Hard Hat Interchange System (HHIS) replacement kit designed for trade and industrial professionals who need to switch quickly between face shields and welding helmets without removing their hard hat. The kit includes mounting brackets and mounting blades that enable a one-button quick-release action. Made from lightweight polypropylene, the adaptor maintains the Class E dielectric rating of the host hard hat, keeping compliance intact on job sites where electrical hazard protection is required. Licensed electricians, welders, and general tradespeople working in environments with multiple hazard exposure will find this adaptor essential for fast PPE transitions.

The 38423 HHIS adaptor is intended for use in industrial, construction, and welding environments where workers face combinations of impact, arc flash, and face hazards. It mounts to compatible Jackson Safety hard hats and allows the wearer to attach or detach face shields and welding helmets at the hard hat level rather than swapping headgear entirely. This is particularly useful in fabrication shops, utility work, and any task-switching scenario where downtime between PPE changes must be minimized.

Key Features

• Includes mounting brackets and mounting blades for face shield and welding helmet attachment
• One-button quick-release action for fast switching between protective attachments
• Maintains Class E dielectric rating on compatible hard hats

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by the end user or a qualified safety equipment technician following the manufacturer mounting instructions. Before installing or removing the adaptor, inspect the hard hat shell for cracks or damage that could compromise dielectric performance. Verify that installation does not alter the hard hat suspension system in a way that affects impact protection ratings. Confirm Class E compliance is maintained after adaptor installation before returning the hard hat to service in electrical hazard environments.
