Milwaukee Tool 48-73-1231 Full Brim Hard Hat Class C

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE TOOL 48-73-1231 is a full brim construction hard hat designed for job site head protection in demanding work environments. Built from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), it meets ANSI/ISEA Z89.1 Type 1 Class C requirements and features a vented shell for airflow during extended wear. The 6-point suspension system with quick-release adjustment accommodates a wide range of head sizes, from 6-1/2 to 8, making it suitable for most workers without dedicated sizing. Weighing 1.02 pounds, it balances durability with everyday wearability. Licensed electricians and general contractors should note that Class C hard hats provide no electrical protection and are intended for environments without live electrical hazard exposure.

This hard hat is suited for residential and commercial construction sites, infrastructure work, and general industrial applications where top and lateral impact protection is required. The full brim design provides additional sun and debris protection on all sides compared to a standard cap-style hard hat. The vented shell improves comfort in warm or outdoor conditions. The slotless design keeps the shell clean for sites where accessory slots are not needed. It is well-suited for general contractors, carpenters, ironworkers, and site supervisors who require reliable daily-use head protection.

Installation Notes

Hard hats should be fitted and adjusted by the worker prior to entering the work area. Inspect the shell and suspension system before each use for cracks, dents, or suspension damage that may compromise protection. Replace the hard hat immediately if it sustains a significant impact, even if visible damage is not present. Class C hard hats do not provide electrical insulation and must not be used as a substitute for dielectric head protection on or near live electrical hazards.
