Msa 10194789 Hard Hat Class C 4-point Vented Orange

Product Description

The MSA 10194789 is a Class C, Type I hard hat designed for general industrial and construction environments. Built from vented polyethylene with a short brim profile, it uses a 4-point ratchet suspension system made from HDPE and polyester for a secure, adjustable fit. The Class C rating means it provides no electrical insulation, making it suited for applications where electrical hazard protection is not required. The vented shell promotes airflow to reduce heat buildup during extended wear. Safety professionals, contractors, and site supervisors specify this model for standard head-impact protection on job sites where comfort and durability are priorities.

This hard hat is appropriate for residential and commercial construction, industrial facilities, utilities work, and general contracting environments where ANSI Type I, Class C head protection is required. The slotted design accommodates compatible accessories such as face shields and earmuffs that attach via standard hard hat slots. The universal fit head sizing and ratchet adjustment make it practical for crews where equipment is shared across workers or where quick fit changes are needed throughout a shift.

Installation Notes

Hard hats should be fitted and adjusted by a qualified safety officer or the end user following the manufacturer sizing instructions before first use. Inspect the shell and suspension for cracks, dents, or fraying before each use and replace if damage is found. Do not modify the shell or suspension, and do not apply adhesives, paints, or solvents that may degrade the polyethylene shell. Replacement intervals should follow the site safety program and applicable ANSI Z89.1 guidelines.
