INSPECT YOUR HARD HAT SHELL AND SUSPENSION BEFORE EVERY USE. REPLACE
THE HARD HAT IMMEDIATELY IF YOU NOTICE ANY SIGNS OF WEAR, DAMAGE,
ABUSE OR DEGRADATION.
WARNINGS, CAUTIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS
These instructions must be carefully read by all persons who wear or maintain this
HARD HAT, including those who have any responsibility involving the selection,
application, use or repair of the hard hat. The hard hat will perform as designed only if
it is used and maintained in accordance with these instructions. Otherwise it could fail
to perform as designed, and persons who rely on this product could sustain serious
personal injury or death.
Any warranties made by JSP Ltd with respect to these Industrial Safety Hard Hats are voided if
the Hard Hat is not used and maintained in accordance with these instructions. Please protect
yourself and your employees by following the instructions. If after reading these instructions,
there is ANY doubt as to the level of protection offered by the Hard Hat, or if there is confusion
concerning the specific conditions which may limit the Hard Hats protective capabilities,
immediately contact your supervisor. Save these instructions for future reference.
WARNING: Type I Hard Hats provide LIMITED top impact and penetration protection. Type II
Hard Hats provide LIMITED top and lateral impact and penetration protection. The Hard Hats
are designed to reduce the effect of an impact or penetration blow, but cannot provide complete
head protection from these occurrences. The Hard Hats comply with ANSI/ISEA Z89.1-2014
standard for Type I or II Industrial Protective Headwear and in most circumstances should be
effective against small tools, bolts, rivets, sparks and similar hazards; however, some conditions
can exceed a Hard Hat's capacity to protect against serious injury or death. AVOID areas
where the chance of severe Hard Hat impact or penetration exists.
In order to provide maximum protection, the Hard Hat MUST fit securely on the head and the
headband MUST be adjusted to a snug fit. Some extreme conditions such as high wind or Hard
Hat impact can dislodge the Hard Hat from the head. To provide LIMITED additional retention
capability, wear a two or three point chinstrap.
The Hard Hat provides LIMITED electrical protection as outlined in the ANSI/ISEA Z89.1-2014
standard. The electrical class is indicated on the label. Sample Class C Hard Hats are not
electrically tested. Class C Hard Hats should not be used where there is a possibility of contact
with electrical hazards. Sample Class G Hard Hats are proof tested to 2,200 volts (RMS); but
this should NOT be construed as a safe contact voltage. Sample Class E Hard Hats are proof
tested to 20,000 volts (RMS); but this should NOT be construed as a safe contact voltage.
AVOID areas where the chance of severe electrical shock exists.
Discard the Hard Hat after ANY impact or penetration. This Hard Hat absorbs the energy of an
impact by deforming and crushing; and the damage MAY NOT be visible or readily apparent.
A damaged Hard Hat WILL NOT provide the degree of protection originally designed into it.
NEVER RISK YOUR LIFE BY USING A DAMAGED Hard Hat.
Although it may provide limited head protection in the event of a fall, this Hard Hat IS NOT
designed for fall protection.
NEVER use this Hard Hat for structural fire fighting because it DOES NOT meet the applicable
NFPA Standard. NEVER use this Hard Hat as a vehicular or sports Hard Hat. NEVER store
gloves, cigarettes, earplugs, etc. between the suspension and the shell liner. This space is
needed when the shell/suspension absorbs the energy of an impact. Objects in this space
can transmit large forces to the head and neck, resulting in serious injury or death. Inspect
the Hard Hat before and after EACH use. ALWAYS follow the inspection procedure in this
booklet. Replace ANY part showing evidence of wear or damage. NEVER exceed useful
service life guidelines of Hard Hat as outlined in this booklet. Replace components or Hard
Hat as required. NEVER alter or modify this Hard Hat in ANY way. Use ONLY JSP supplied
or approved accessories with this Hard Hat. Do not apply paint, solvents, adhesives or self-
adhesive labels, except in accordance with the instructions from the Hard Hat manufacturer.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in serious personal injury or death.
FITTING AND ADJUSTMENT: For adequate protection this Hard Hat must fit or be adjusted
to the size of the users head. The Hard Hat must be worn with the peak facing forward. To
alter the fit, adjust the harness at the rear of the Hard Hat and ensure a comfortable fit is made
around the crown of the head.
USE: Type I Hard Hats are intended to reduce the force of impact resulting from a blow only to
the top of the head. Type II Hard Hats are intended to reduce the force of impact resulting from
a blow to the top or sides of the head. Class G Hard Hats are proof tested to 2200V and Class
E Hard Hats are proof tested to 20,000 V, the maximum voltage against which the Hard Hat will
protect the wearer depends upon a number of variable factors, such as the characteristics of the
electrical circuit, the care exercised in the maintenance of the Hard Hat, and weather conditions.
The safe and proper use of the Hard Hat in electrical applications should be established by the
authority having jurisdiction, and their recommendations MUST be strictly followed.
The Hard Hat is made to absorb the energy of an impact by partial destruction or damage to
the shell or harness and even though such damage may not be readily apparent, any Hard Hat
subjected to any impact should be replaced. The attention of users is also drawn to the danger
of modifying or removing any of the original component parts of the Hard Hat, other than as
recommended by the Hard Hat manufacturer. Hard Hats should not be adapted for the purpose
of fitting attachments in any way not recommended by the Hard Hat manufacturer. Accessories
and/or replacement harnesses, chin straps, ear defenders, visors and Hard Hat mounted lamps
are available with fitting instructions from JSP.
INSPECTION AND CARE OF THE HARD HAT: The Hard Hat is a complete system consisting
of shell and harness. The Hard Hat's useful life is affected by many factors including the cold,
heat, chemicals, sunlight and misuse. This Hard Hat MUST be stored in a clean, dry area where
it is not exposed to extremes of heat or cold which can affect the Hard Hat's useful service life.
When not in use or during transportation, this Hard Hat should be stored in a container such

that it is out of direct sunlight, away from chemicals and abrasive substances and cannot be
damaged by physical contact with hard surfaces/items.
NEVER store a Hard Hat on the back shelf of an automobile; not only will it be exposed to
sunlight (leading to heat and UV damage), but it could become a secondary missile in the
event of a sudden stop. All components and accessories, if any, should be visually inspected
prior to each use for signs of dents, cracks, penetration, and any damage due to impact, rough
treatment, or wear that might reduce the degree of protection originally provided. A Hard Hat
with worn, damaged or defective parts should be removed from service. While the Hard Hat is
free from defects it is suitable for its intended purpose. The date of manufacture is moulded into
the peak of this Hard Hat. Under normal circumstances the Hard Hat has a maximum life of 5yrs
from date of first use. Under no circumstances must a component other than a JSP component
be used on a Hard Hat. The Hard Hat may be cleaned with the use of soap and warm water and
dried with a soft cloth. The Hard Hat should not be cleaned with abrasive substances or solvents
and must not be stored in direct sunlight or in contact with any solvents.
LIMITATION OF PROTECTION: Users are cautioned that if unusual conditions prevail (for
example, higher or lower extremes of temperature than those described), or if there are signs
of abuse of or damage to the Hard Hat or of any component, the degree of protection may be
reduced. Any Hard Hat that has received an impact should be removed from service, since the
impact may have substantially reduced the protection offered.
NOTE: Certain materials are susceptible to damage from ultraviolet light and chemical
degradation, and Hard Hats are no exception. Periodic examinations should be made of all
protective Hard Hats and, in particular, those worn or stored in area exposed to sunlight for
long periods. Ultraviolet degradation may first manifest itself in a loss of surface gloss, called
chalking or discolouration. Upon further degradation the surface will craze or flake away, or
both. At the first appearance of any of these phenomena, the shell should be replaced.
Because Hard Hats can be damaged, they should not be abused. They should be kept free from
abrasions, scrapes, and nicks and should not be dropped, thrown, or used as supports. This
applies especially to Hard Hats that are intended to afford protection against electrical hazards.
Users should exercise extreme care in the selection and installation of accessories. The
addition of accessories to the Hard Hat may adversely affect the level of protection. The user
should make sure that any accessory is compatible with the Hard Hat. Contact the Hard Hat or
accessory manufacturer for compatibility information.
Caution should be taken when marking or decorating Class G or E Hard Hats. Identification
markers used on shells for Hard Hats meeting Class G or E requirements shall be affixed
without making holes through the shell and without the use of any metal parts. Metallic based
markers such as some reflective tapes, metal foil labels or metal foil hot stamps should NOT
be applied.
