Custom Class E Electrical Hard Hats | OSHA & ANSI Z89.1 Certified
Electricians, lineworkers, and utility crews face arc flash, electric shock, and thermal burn hazards every day on the job. The right hard hat is not optional — it is a compliance requirement and a life-safety decision.
Every electrical hard hat in this collection is OSHA-compliant and certified to ANSI/ISEA Z89.1, the governing standard for industrial head protection in the United States. All hats are Class E (Electrical) rated — independently tested to withstand up to 20,000 volts — making them the correct choice for high-voltage electrical work.
All hats can be custom printed with your company logo, crew identifier, or safety slogan. Prices start at $11.78.

What Is a Class E Electrical Hard Hat?
ANSI/ISEA Z89.1 defines three electrical protection classes for hard hats. Choosing the right class is a compliance requirement, not a preference:
- Class E (Electrical) — tested to withstand 20,000 volts. Required for high-voltage electrical work near energized lines, switchgear, or utility infrastructure.
- Class G (General) — tested to withstand 2,200 volts. Appropriate for general construction and lower-voltage electrical environments.
- Class C (Conductive) — provides zero electrical protection. Must not be used for any work near live electrical equipment.
Every hard hat on this page is Class E. If your crew works near energized conductors, Class E is the only compliant choice under OSHA 29 CFR 1910.135 and 1926.100.
Custom Logo Printing on Class E Electrical Hard Hats
Every Class E hard hat in this lineup can be printed with your company logo, safety slogan, or department identifier. We print directly on MSA V-Gard, Fibre-Metal E-1, and ERB hard hats — the three most trusted brands in the electrical and utility sectors.
Our printing process is applied to the exterior shell only and does not affect the structural integrity, dielectric properties, or ANSI/ISEA Z89.1 Class E certification of any hat. Printed hats carry the same 20,000-volt rating as unprinted versions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Electrical Hard Hats
Do electricians need Class E hard hats?
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.135 (general industry) and 29 CFR 1926.100 (construction) require head protection wherever employees face hazards from electric shock or burns. For work on or near energized conductors above 2,200 volts, Class E is required. Most electrical contractors standardize on Class E site-wide as a best practice regardless of the specific task.
What voltage can a Class E hard hat withstand?
A Class E hard hat is independently tested to withstand up to 20,000 volts under ANSI/ISEA Z89.1. This makes it the appropriate choice for high-voltage electrical work including work near energized power lines, switchgear, and utility infrastructure.
What is the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 electrical hard hats?
Type refers to impact zone coverage, not electrical protection. Type 1 hard hats protect only the top of the head. Type 2 hard hats add lateral protection on the sides of the head. Both are available in Class E. Electrical class (E, G, or C) is a completely separate rating.
Will adding a logo void the Class E certification?
No. Printing applied to the exterior shell does not affect the ANSI/ISEA Z89.1 Class E rating or the dielectric properties of the hat. All custom-printed hard hats sold here retain their full 20,000-volt Class E certification.
