North A89R080000 Class E Type Ii Hard Hat Hdpe

Product Description

The NORTH A89R080000 is a Class E, ANSI Type II hard hat designed for industrial and construction environments where electrical hazard protection and lateral impact resistance are required. Built from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), the shell is slotted for compatible accessory attachments. The 4-point nylon suspension uses a ratchet adjustment system, allowing quick fit changes without removing the hat. At 1.342 pounds, it fits head sizes 6-1/2 to 8 and is not vented, making it suitable for environments where airborne contamination is a concern alongside impact risk.

This hard hat is suited for electrical workers, construction crews, utility technicians, and industrial maintenance personnel. The ANSI Type II rating means the shell is designed to reduce force from lateral as well as top impacts, which is the appropriate classification for worksites with exposure to side-impact hazards. The Class E electrical rating provides dielectric protection against high-voltage conductors. The slotted brim accepts face shields, hearing protection, and other slot-compatible accessories commonly used in trade and industrial settings.

Installation Notes

Hard hats should be inspected before each use for cracks, dents, fraying suspension, or UV degradation of the shell. A licensed safety professional or site supervisor should verify the hat meets applicable OSHA and ANSI Z89.1 requirements for the job classification before issuing it for use. Replace the suspension independently from the shell if wear or damage is found, following the manufacturer guidance for that component. Do not apply paints, solvents, or adhesives to the HDPE shell, as these can degrade structural integrity.
