Abstract |
Revision (approved 16 Jan. 1981) of ANSI Z.89.1-1969 (industrial head protection) and ANSI Z.89.2-1971 (industrial protective helmets for electrical workers) combining both these standards. Sections on: types and classes of helmet; materials; physical and performance requirements; tests for helmets for the protection of industrial workers, with recommended safety requirements for authorities considering the establishment of regulations or codes; specifications for helmets to protect the heads of industrial workers from impact and penetration by falling objects and from high-voltage electric shock and burn; physical requirements (construction, shell, headband, sweatband, crown straps, protective padding; accessories; instructions and marking); performance requirements (electrical insulation, impact and penetration resistance, flammability, water absorption); test methods. Hat and helmet size guide. Appendixes: electrical insulation test procedure; recommendations and precautions concerning helmet use; maintenance, and testing. |
