Types of Safety Helmets

Multi-Directional Impact Protection

Type 2 Safety Helmets

Type 2 safety helmets protect against impacts to the top, front, back, and sides of the head, reducing the risk of head injury and brain trauma from lateral blows. Unlike a traditional hard hat, the APEX Type 2 helmet features an advanced suspension system and reinforced outer shell that absorbs and disperses impact energy from multiple directions.

ANSI Z89.1-2014 Type 2 Certified

Built With Your Team In Mind

OSHA and ANSI Compliant

All safety helmets meet ANSI Z89.1-2014 standards and satisfy OSHA head protection requirements for construction and general industry applications.

Accessory Compatible

APEX helmets integrate with face shields, earmuffs, visors, and lighting systems so your crew can add eye protection and customize their setup for any task.

All-Day Comfort

Adjustable 6-point suspension systems accommodate a wide range of head sizes, while padded sweatbands and balanced weight distribution keep workers comfortable through full shifts.

High-Visibility Options

Available in multiple colors including white, orange, yellow, and hi-vis options to meet jobsite visibility requirements and crew identification needs.

Durable Construction

Impact-resistant ABS shell and HDPE options withstand daily jobsite abuse while maintaining protective performance in extreme temperatures.

Secure Fit

Ratchet adjustment systems and optional chin straps keep helmets stable during overhead work, climbing, and sudden movements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Not seeing what you're looking for?

Do I need a chin strap with a Type 2 helmet?

ANSI and OSHA do not require chin straps on Type 2 helmets, but we recommend them for work involving heights, climbing, or situations where sudden movements could dislodge the helmet. All APEX Type 2 helmets include chin strap attachment points, and chin straps are included with select models.

How often should safety helmets be replaced?

Replace helmets immediately after any significant impact, even if no damage is visible. For helmets that haven't sustained impacts, manufacturers typically recommend replacement every 2-5 years depending on exposure to sunlight, chemicals, and extreme temperatures. Check the manufacture date inside the helmet and inspect regularly for cracks, dents, or degraded suspension components.

Can I attach face shields and earmuffs to Malta Dynamics helmets?

Yes. APEX Type 2 helmets are designed to work with our face shield brackets, toric face shields, mesh face shields, and helmet-mounted earmuffs. The slotted design and weight-compensating brackets allow you to add eye, face, and hearing protection without compromising fit or comfort.

What do Class E and Class C ratings mean?

Class E (Electrical) helmets are tested to protect against electrical contact up to 20,000 volts and feature non-vented designs to maintain insulation. Class C (Conductive) helmets offer no electrical protection but provide better ventilation for hot environments. Choose Class E for electrical work and Class C when electrical hazards are not present and cooling is a priority.

What's the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 safety helmets?

Type 1 helmets protect against impacts to the top of the head only. Type 2 helmets protect against impacts to the top, front, back, and sides of the head. If your crew faces lateral impact hazards from swinging loads, low clearances, or slip and fall risks, Type 2 helmets provide more comprehensive protection. Read more about the difference.
