Custom Hard Hats 101
A hard hat comes in handy when one is working in sites where there is a reasonable chance of danger. Irrespective of your job title, whenever you are in a worksite where debris might fall from, you need a hard hat.
While you can buy a hard hat off the market, custom hard hats are more appropriate when you are running a company. When purchasing a customized helmet, many variables should be considered besides the logo and the name that appears on the helmet. To determine the custom hard hats you need, you will first need to consider the hazards likely to be experienced at the worksite and the usage limitations.
An excellent hard hat should offer:
Pride in ownership
Protection against penetration
Deflection to blows on your head
Absorption to impact on your head
Water resistance
Burn resistance
These advantages of a hard hat are not precisely in that order, but a hat should offer all that and more. Today, advances in technology have made it possible for you to order a customized hard hat. This way, not only are your workers protected, but they also carry the name of the construction company.

Learn to choose between types of hard hats
There are two main types of hard hats; type I and type II hard hats. The former protects users from a hard impact from above, while the latter protects users from impact from above and the sides. Both of these hard hats can be customized.
ANSI classifies hard hats into three categories:
Class G: These are general hard hats designed for general purpose use. They protect the user from impact and penetration but can only protect the user from up to 2,200 volts.
