Head protection is the first line of defense against falling objects, fixed obstructions and electrical hazards on the job. Malta Dynamics carries ANSI-rated safety helmets, hard hats and face shields so crews can match their head protection gear to the specific hazards on site. Our own team field tests every piece before it reaches your workers.
Safety Helmets
APEX safety helmets carry an ANSI Z89.1 Type II rating, which means they are tested for impacts to the top, front, back and sides of the head. A 6-point suspension system, or comfort liner accompanied by an adjustable 4-point chin strap keeps the helmet seated when a worker bends, climbs or takes an off-center blow. For sites where workers face swinging loads or fall hazards at height, APEX helmets are the head protection solution we recommend.
- Type II Top and Lateral Impact Protection
- Class C and Class E Electrical Ratings
- 4-Point Chin Strap and 6-Point Suspension
Hard Hats
Malta hard hats meet ANSI Z89.1 Type I requirements for protection against objects striking the top of the head, and Class E models are tested to 20,000 volts. A lightweight shell and 4-point ratchet suspension make them a reliable, affordable choice for general construction sites and industrial work. Type I designs are tested for top impacts only and offer limited protection from the side, making a Type II safety helmet the better fit for work at height or around swinging loads.
- ANSI Z89.1 Type I Top Impact Protection
- Class E Models Rated to 20,000 Volts
- Cap Style and Full Brim Options
Face Shields and Accessories
Face shields, visors, helmet-mounted earmuffs and brackets turn a single helmet into a complete personal protective equipment system. Arc flash and welding shields add eye protection for electrical and hot work, while mesh shields and earmuffs handle debris and noise. Most accessories mount directly to APEX safety helmets, so workers add protection without carrying separate gear.
- Arc Flash Shields Rated to 12 or 20 cal/cm²
- Helmet-Mounted Hearing Protection
- ANSI Z87.1 Face Shield Brackets
