Milwaukee Tool 48-73-1106 Hard Hat Class E Front Brim

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE TOOL 48-73-1106 is a Class E front brim construction hard hat built from high-density polyethylene (HDPE). It meets ANSI/ISEA Z89.1 Type 1 standards, providing electrical protection rated for Class E environments where exposure to high-voltage conductors is a concern. The 4-point adjustable quick-release suspension system distributes impact force across the crown and allows fast fit adjustments without removing the hat. At 1.02 pounds, it stays lightweight across long shifts on commercial and industrial job sites. The non-vented, non-slotted shell maintains a clean profile compatible with most face shield and hearing protection attachments standard in the trades.

This hard hat is designed for construction applications including general contracting, electrical work, ironwork, and similar site trades where head protection meeting ANSI Z89.1 Type 1 Class E is required. The front brim style provides overhead shielding while leaving side lines of sight open. The universal fit accommodates head sizes from 6-1/2 to 8, making it practical for shared-use programs or individual issue on larger crews. The green shell color is commonly associated with safety inspector and new worker designations on many sites, though application is at the discretion of the site safety program.

Inspect the shell and suspension for cracks, dents, or UV degradation before each use and replace any hat that has sustained an impact or shows visible damage.
