• 1898 - E.D. Bullard Company was founded
• 1919 - Bullard introduces the first hard hat
  known
• as the Hard-Boiled Hat.

HISTORY

• 1953 - Bullard first to injection mold hard hats.
• 1971 - Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA)
  is passed.
• 1988 - Bullard introduces the revolutionary
  Advent helmet.
• 1997 - ANSI releases the latest revision to the
  Z89.1 Industrial head protection standard -

• 1999 - Bullard celebrates the 80th birthday of
  the hard hat.

TYPES OF HARD HATS

• Conventional hard hats are designed to reduce the
  force of the
• impact to the head, neck, and spine.
• This is considered a TYPE I helmet.
• New designs offer additional impact protection to
  the front, sides,
• and back, as well as the top of the head.
• This is considered a TYPE II helmet

How Hard Hats Work

• A hard hat consists of two components
• 1) Shell
• a) offers penetration protection while holding
  the impact absorbing suspension in place.
• b) offers impact protection by deflecting the
  blows when struck.
• c) helps absorb the energy of the impact

7
How Hard Hats Work

• A hard hat consists of two components
• 2) Suspension System
• a) consists of three components (straps, keys,
  and headband.
• b) controls the shock transmitted to the head.
• i. keys wedge themselves into the key
  sockets, reducing the impacts transmitted
  force.
• ii. straps elongate, helping absorb the
  impact.
• iii. the area between the head and shell
  serves as a buffer.

8
Regulations Standards

• OSHA (29 CFR 1910.135) requires head protection
  if any aspect of the work environment presents a
  risk of head injury.
• ANSI (Z89.1-1997) developed the following
  requirements for industrial head protection
• 1. IMPACT PROTECTION
• 2. PENETRATION PROTECTION
• 3. ELECTRICAL INSULATION PROTECTION

9
Classes of Hard Hats

• There are three different electrical
  classifications a hard hat can be classified as
• Class E (Electrical) limited electrical
  insulation in tests using 20,000 volts
• Class G (General) limited electrical
  insulation in tests using 2,200 volts
• Class C (Conductive) not tested for electrical
  insulation

10
Classes of Hard Hats

• Old Standard New Standard
• Z86.1-1996 Z89.1-1997 Application
• B E Electrical
• A G General
• C C Conductive
