Msa 815558 V-gard Slotted Cap Hard Hat Type 1 Class E

Product Description

The MSA 815558 is a V-Gard slotted cap-style hard hat rated Type 1, Class E, built for electrical and general industrial job sites. Constructed from high-density polyethylene, it meets ANSI/ISEA Z89.1-2014 and CSA Z94.1-2005 standards for impact resistance and electrical hazard protection. The 4-point pinlock suspension provides a secure, adjustable fit across a universal head size range. At 1 pound, it is lightweight enough for full-shift wear. The lime color finish offers high visibility in active work environments. This model does not include side vents, making it appropriate for environments where ventilation must be controlled.

The MSA 815558 is suited for residential and commercial construction, electrical work, utility maintenance, and general industrial applications where overhead impact and electrical hazard protection are required. The slotted brim accepts standard cap-accessory attachments such as face shields, ear muffs, and mounting brackets compatible with the V-Gard slot system. It is commonly installed by licensed electricians, ironworkers, general contractors, and site safety personnel who require a compliant, full-day-wear head protection solution.

Installation Notes

Fitting and adjustment is performed by the end user; no tools are required for the pinlock suspension. Inspect the shell and suspension for cracks, deformation, or UV degradation before each use and replace if damage is found. Do not modify, drill, or paint the shell, as these actions may compromise impact and electrical ratings. Replace the hard hat per the manufacturer service life guidance and after any significant impact event.
