A beginners guide to hard hats

So the boss sent you on a quest for hard hats huh? What's a hard hat you ask? Don't worry! Here's what you need to know to get started.

Hard hats are essential safety equipment needed when you're working in areas that have a potential for injury to your head from falling objects.
When are hard hats used?

More and more companies have adopted a 100% hard hat usage policy instead of trying to figure out exactly when and where they are absolutely needed or required. Better safe than sorry, right?

Most ISG hard hats allow for the use of hard hat accessories like light attachments, face shields, reflective stripes for night work, and attachments for visors or earmuffs and of course company logo customization.

Many people ask us: "Are these hard hats OSHA approved?" That's kind of a trick question. OSHA doesn't actually approve or disapprove of any particular brand of hard hat. OSHA does require that they are to be worn in certain situations and that the hard hats meet the required ANSI standard. So, the answer to the question is actually that the hard hat does or does not meet the ANSI standard that OSHA requires.

Other common questions pertaining to the hard hats suspensions. The suspension is just the inner part of the hard hat that actually fits around your head. The suspension is then attached to the shell of the hard hat at several points.

Many of the other differences between hard hats are the look and feel and often just comes down to a personal preference.
