Milwaukee Tool 48-73-1311 Climbing Hard Hat Class E

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE TOOL 48-73-1311 is a Class E climbing-style hard hat built for trade professionals working at height or in areas with elevated electrical exposure risk. Constructed from impact-resistant polyethylene, this hard hat meets ANSI Type II standards, meaning it is rated for both top and lateral impact protection. The 4-point adjustable suspension system distributes load across the skull and allows a secure, customized fit for extended wear on job sites. Electricians, linemen, tower climbers, and general construction crews working under OSHA hard hat requirements will find this helmet suited to demanding environments. It is non-vented and non-slotted, maintaining full shell integrity without airflow cutouts.

This hard hat is appropriate for residential and commercial construction, utility work, and industrial maintenance applications where ANSI Type II, Class E head protection is specified or required. Class E (Electrical) rating means the shell and suspension are tested to protect against electrical conductors up to 20,000 volts. The universal fit size accommodates most adult head sizes through the adjustable suspension, reducing the need for multiple size SKUs on a crew. The non-vented shell makes this a viable choice in environments where debris or precipitation exposure is a concern.

Installation Notes

Hard hats should be inspected before each use for cracks, dents, or suspension damage and replaced if any defects are found. The 4-point suspension adjustment should be set to achieve a snug fit with the shell sitting level on the head before work begins. Do not modify the shell or suspension system, and do not store the hard hat in direct sunlight or extreme heat for prolonged periods, as UV exposure and heat can degrade polyethylene over time. Follow OSHA 29 CFR 1926.100 and applicable site safety plans for proper hard hat use and replacement intervals.
