Jackson Sentry III Hard hat

Description

The Jackson Safety 14419 Sentry III hard hat is a cap-style protective helmet molded from HDPE with a six-point adjustable pinlock suspension, a contoured dome, and universal accessory slots. This protective headwear meets American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Z89.1-2003 Type 1 impact requirements for protection from impact striking the top of the head and Class E electrical requirements to reduce the danger of exposure to high voltage conductors. The six-point adjustable pinlock suspension fits sizes 6-1/2 to 8″, and provides more impact protection than four-point suspensions. The HDPE (high-density polyethylene) outer shell is lightweight (12.5 oz.) for comfort, impact resistant, and has a full visor to reduce glare from the sun or overhead lighting. The suspension straps and nape strap are made of woven nylon, which has a good strength-to-weight ratio and resists mold growth. The universal accessory slots provide compatibility with accessories to extend protection or vision range such as face shields, headlamps, and rearview mirrors (accessories sold separately). This hat also fits some attachments for non-slotted hats, such as cap coil spring attachment models 137 Capshield, Model C, cord-mounted attachment model 337 Capshield, and blade-mounted attachment model 437 Capshield (all attachments sold separately).

Hard hats are personal protective equipment (PPE) worn on the head in workplace environments to help protect the wearer from injuries caused by falling objects, debris, or electrical conductors. These hats consist of an outer shell, typically plastic or fiberglass, and a multipoint suspension system that keeps the shell suspended above the head. More points in the suspension system provide better distribution of the force of impacts for more protection. Suspensions may include either a chinstrap to prevent the hat from falling off, or a nape strap to prevent the hat from sliding forward and falling off when the wearer is leaning forward. These straps are usually adjustable for a comfortable fit, using either a pinlock or ratchet system. A ratchet system adjusts with the turning of a knob on the nape strap and may be adjusted with the hat on. A pinlock system consists of a strap with pins and a strap with holes, and it must be aligned and set with the hat removed.
