Side- and top-protecting full-brim hard hats (Type 2, Class E) are used where swinging objects such as hooks and chains pose a hazard. They have a full brim around the entire hat to reduce glare and help shade the eyes, face, and neck in bright sunlight. Type 2 hard hats provide protection against vertical and angled impacts up to 60°. They have more padding than Type 1 hard hats, which generally makes them more bulky and heavier. They are rated Class E for high-voltage electrical protection up to 20KV. Type 2 helmets should be worn when indicated by OSHA or where swinging objects (such as hooks or chains) are a concern.
