A hard hat is one of the most common pieces of personal protective equipment on a job site, built to help protect workers from falling objects and overhead bumps. Malta Dynamics builds dependable, field-tested head protection at a price that lets you outfit an entire crew. Our hard hats are made in the United States, meet ANSI Z89.1 Type I and OSHA 1910 and 1926 head protection requirements, and come in cap style and full brim designs with Class E and Class G electrical ratings. For jobs with swinging loads, low clearances, or moving equipment, our Type II safety helmets add front, back, and side impact protection and an included 4-point chin strap for retention.
Cap Style Hard Hats
The Malta cap style hard hat is a lightweight, affordable choice for general construction and industrial work. It meets ANSI Z89.1 Type I requirements with both Class E and Class G ratings, and a 4-point ratchet suspension with front and rear vertical adjustment keeps it comfortable through a full shift. At just 0.7 lb, it is easy to outfit an entire crew in standard colors or with a custom logo.
- Type I Class E and Class G Rated
- 4-Point Ratchet Suspension
- Custom Logo Printing Available
Full Brim Hard Hats
The full brim hard hat adds 360-degree coverage around the entire head, shielding workers from sun, glare, rain, and falling debris. A permanent under-brim glare guard cuts reflected light, and the shell carries Class E and Class G electrical ratings, with Class E tested to 20,000 volts. Universal accessory mounts accept face shields and other accessories. One full brim hard hat can serve a wide range of tasks.
- Full Brim Polyethylene Shell
- Class E and Class G Rated
- Compatible with Face Shields, Earmuffs and Chin Straps
Full Brim Hard Hat with Visor
This package pairs a 4-point ratchet full brim hard hat with a flat acetate visor and mounting bracket, giving workers head and face protection straight out of the box. The visor meets ANSI/ISEA Z87.1-2010 for light chemical splashes and impacts, and the low-profile design keeps the center of gravity close to the head. It is a practical setup for light splash, overhead debris, and general face-protection tasks.
- Includes Acetate Visor and Bracket
- Class E and Class G Electrical Ratings
- Low-Profile Design
Type II Safety Helmets
A Type I hard hat is tested for impacts to the top of the head. APEX Type II safety helmets add tested protection for the front, back, and sides, along with a 6-point ratchet suspension and an included 4-point chin strap that keeps the helmet in place during an off-center impact. They are the upgrade we recommend for crews facing lateral impacts, swinging loads, low clearances, or moving equipment.
- Type II Top and Lateral Impact Protection
- Included 4-Point Chin Strap
- Class C and Class E Options
