Msa 475369/BL71708 Full Brim Hard Hat Type I Class E

Product Description

The MSA 475369/BL71708 is a full brim hard hat from the MSA V-Gard series, designed for impact and electrical hazard protection on industrial and construction job sites. Built from polyethylene, it meets ANSI/ISEA Z89.1-2014 Type I, Class E standards as well as CSA Z94.1-2014, making it suitable for work environments where overhead impact and high-voltage electrical exposure are primary concerns. The 4-point ratchet suspension system provides a secure, adjustable fit across a head size range of 6-1/2 to 8. Licensed electricians, ironworkers, general contractors, and site safety personnel are the primary installers and wearers of this unit.

This hard hat is suited for residential and commercial construction, utility work, and industrial plant environments where ANSI Type I head protection is required. The full brim design provides shielding from sun, rain, and falling debris on all sides. The slotted shell accepts compatible accessories such as face shields, earmuff attachments, and visors. The MSA V-Gard series is a widely recognized platform in the safety industry, and this model ships with Messer graphics applied to the shell.

Installation Notes

Hard hats should be inspected before each use for cracks, dents, or suspension damage and replaced if any structural compromise is found. The ratchet suspension should be adjusted to fit snugly without pressure points before entering the work area. Do not modify, drill, or paint the shell, as these actions can reduce impact resistance and void compliance with ANSI standards. Replacement suspensions should meet the same ANSI class rating as the shell.
