Milwaukee Tool 48-73-1303 Climbing Hard Hat Class E

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE TOOL 48-73-1303 is a Class E climbing hard hat built for impact-resistant head protection in demanding jobsite conditions. Constructed from polyethylene, it meets ANSI Type II standards, meaning it provides protection from both top and lateral impacts. The 4-point suspension system distributes force across the skull on impact and keeps the hat seated during overhead or climbing work. Rated Class E for electrical hazard resistance, this hat is appropriate for use near energized conductors. It fits a universal head size and is not vented, making it suitable for environments where ventilation openings would present a hazard. Licensed electricians, lineworkers, ironworkers, and general contractors are the primary installers and wearers.

This hard hat is designed for climbing applications where ANSI Type II, Class E protection is specified. The non-vented, non-slotted shell makes it compatible with environments that require a sealed exterior. It is well suited to electrical construction, utility work, steel erection, and other trades where both impact and electrical hazard protection are required simultaneously. The universal sizing accommodates a wide range of head sizes without requiring a separate fit adjustment tool at initial fitting, though the suspension system is adjustable for a secure, personalized fit.

Installation Notes

Hard hats should be fitted by a qualified safety officer or the wearer according to the manufacturer suspension adjustment instructions before first use. Inspect the shell and suspension for cracks, dents, or degradation before each use and replace the hat if damage is found. Do not modify, drill, paint, or apply adhesive labels to the shell unless the manufacturer explicitly approves, as these actions can compromise structural integrity. Hard hat requirements on construction sites are governed by OSHA 29 CFR 1926.100 and applicable ANSI Z89.1 standards.
