INSPECT YOUR HARD HAT SHELL AND SUSPENSION BEFORE EVERY USE. REPLACE THE HARD HAT IMMEDIATELY IF YOU NOTICE ANY
SIGNS OF WEAR, DAMAGE, ABUSE OR DEGRADATION.
WARNINGS, CAUTIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS - THESE INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE CAREFULLY READ BY ALL PERSONS WHO WEAR OR
MAINTAIN THIS HARD HAT, INCLUDING THOSE WHO HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY INVOLVING THE SELECTION, APPLICATION, USE OR REPAIR
OF THE HARD HAT. THE HARD HAT WILL PERFORM AS DESIGNED ONLY IF IT IS USED AND MAINTAINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE
INSTRUCTIONS. OTHERWISE IT COULD FAIL TO PERFORM AS DESIGNED, AND PERSONS WHO RELY ON THIS PRODUCT COULD SUSTAIN
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
Any warranties made by JSP Ltd with respect to these Industrial Safety Hard Hats are voided if the Hard Hat is not used and maintained in accordance with
these instructions. Please protect yourself and your employees by following the instructions. If after reading these instructions, there is ANY doubt as to the
level of protection offered by the Hard Hat, or if there is confusion concerning the specific conditions which may limit the Hard Hats protective capabilities,
immediately contact your supervisor. Save these instructions for future reference.
WARNING:
Type I Hard Hats provide LIMITED top impact and penetration protection. Type II Hard Hats provide LIMITED top and lateral impact and
penetration protection. The Hard Hats are designed to reduce the effect of an impact or penetration blow but cannot provide complete head protection from
these occurrences. The Hard Hats comply with ANSI/ISEA Z89.1-2014 standard for Type I or II Industrial Protective Headwear and in most circumstances
should be effective against small tools, bolts, rivets, sparks and similar hazards; however, some conditions can exceed a Hard Hat’s capacity to protect
against serious injury or death. AVOID areas where the chance of severe Hard Hat impact or penetration exists.
In order to provide maximum protection, the Hard Hat MUST fit securely on the head and the headband MUST be adjusted to a snug fit. Some extreme
conditions such as high wind or Hard Hat impact can dislodge the Hard Hat from the head. To provide LIMITED additional retention capability, wear a two
or four point chinstrap.
The Hard Hat provides LIMITED electrical protection as outlined in the ANSI/ISEA Z89.1-2014 standard. The electrical class is indicated on the label.
Sample Class C Hard Hats are not electrically tested. Class C Hard Hats should not be used where there is a possibility of contact with electrical hazards.
Sample Class G Hard Hats are proof tested to 2,200 volts (RMS); but this should NOT be construed as a safe contact voltage. Sample Class E Hard Hats
are proof tested to 20,000 volts (RMS); but this should NOT be construed as a safe contact voltage. AVOID areas where the chance of severe electrical
shock exists.
Discard the Hard Hat after ANY impact or penetration. This Hard Hat absorbs the energy of an impact by deforming and crushing; and the damage MAY
NOT be visible or readily apparent. A damaged Hard Hat WILL NOT provide the degree of protection originally designed into it. NEVER RISK YOUR LIFE
BY USING A DAMAGED Hard Hat.
NEVER
use this Hard Hat for structural firefighting because it DOES NOT meet the applicable NFPA Standard.
NEVER
use this Hard Hat as a vehicular
or sports Hard Hat.
NEVER
store gloves, cigarettes, earplugs, etc. between the suspension and the shell liner. This space is needed when the shell/
suspension absorbs the energy of an impact. Objects in this space can transmit large forces to the head and neck, resulting in serious injury or death.
Inspect the Hard Hat before and after EACH use.
ALWAYS
follow the inspection procedure in this booklet. Replace ANY part showing evidence of wear
or damage.
NEVER
exceed useful service life guidelines of Hard Hat as outlined in this booklet. Replace components or Hard Hat as required.
NEVER
alter or modify this Hard Hat in ANY way. Use ONLY JSP supplied or approved accessories with this Hard Hat. Do not apply paint, solvents, adhesives or
self-adhesive labels, except in accordance with the instructions from the Hard Hat manufacturer.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in serious
personal injury or death.
FIELD OF USE:
This Helmet is designed for industrial head protection and working at height. This Helmet meets the mandatory shock absorption and
penetration requirements of EN12492:2012, the European Standard for Mountaineering Helmets. This Helmet conforms to and exceeds the shock
absorption and resistance to penetration requirements of ANSI/ISEA Z89.1 Type I, the American Standard for Industrial Safety Helmets.
USE:
The helmet
is made to absorb the energy of an impact by partial destruction or damage to the shell or harness and even though such damage may not be readily
apparent, any helmet subjected to severe impact should be replaced.
FITTING AND ADJUSTMENT:
For adequate protection this Hard Hat must fit or be adjusted to the size of the user’s head. The Hard Hat must be worn with
the peak facing forward. To alter the fit, adjust the harness at the rear of the Hard Hat and ensure a comfortable fit is made around the crown of the head.

The Hard Hat is made to absorb the energy of an impact by partial destruction or damage to the shell or harness and even though such damage may
not be readily apparent, any Hard Hat subjected to any impact should be replaced. The attention of users is also drawn to the danger of modifying or
removing any of the original component parts of the Hard Hat, other than as recommended by the Hard Hat manufacturer. Hard Hats should not be
adapted for the purpose of fitting attachments in any way not recommended by the Hard Hat manufacturer. Accessories and/or replacement harnesses,
chin straps, ear defenders, visors and Hard Hat mounted lamps are available with fitting instructions from JSP.
INSPECTION AND CARE OF THE HARD HAT:
The Hard Hat is a complete system consisting of shell and harness. The Hard Hat’s useful life is affected
by many factors including the cold, heat, chemicals, sunlight and misuse. This Hard Hat MUST be stored in a clean, dry area where it is not exposed to
extremes of heat or cold which can affect the Hard Hat’s useful service life. When not in use or during transportation, this Hard Hat should be stored in
a container such that it is out of direct sunlight, away from chemicals and abrasive substances and cannot be damaged by physical contact with hard
surfaces/items.
NEVER
store a Hard Hat on the back shelf of an automobile; not only will it be exposed to sunlight (leading to heat and UV damage), but it could become
a secondary missile in the event of a sudden stop. All components and accessories, if any, should be visually inspected prior to each use for signs of
dents, cracks, penetration, and any damage due to impact, rough treatment, or wear that might reduce the degree of protection originally provided. A
Hard Hat with worn, damaged or defective parts should be removed from service. While the Hard Hat is free from defects it is suitable for its intended
purpose. The date of manufacture is moulded into the peak of this Hard Hat. Under normal circumstances the Hard Hat has a maximum life of 5yrs from
date of manufacture. Under no circumstances must a component other than a JSP component be used on a Hard Hat. The Hard Hat may be cleaned with
the use of soap and warm water and dried with a soft cloth. The Hard Hat should not be cleaned with abrasive substances or solvents and must not be
stored in direct sunlight or in contact with any solvents.
LIMITATION OF PROTECTION:
Users are cautioned that if unusual conditions prevail (for example, higher or lower extremes of temperature than those
described), or if there are signs of abuse of or damage to the Hard Hat or of any component, the degree of protection may be reduced. Any Hard Hat that
has received an impact should be removed from service, since the impact may have substantially reduced the protection offered.
NOTE:
Certain materials are susceptible to damage from ultraviolet light and chemical degradation, and Hard Hats are no exception. Periodic
examinations should be made of all protective Hard Hats and, in particular, those worn or stored in area exposed to sunlight for long periods. Ultraviolet
degradation may first manifest itself in a loss of surface gloss, called chalking or discolouration. Upon further degradation the surface will craze or flake
away, or both. At the first appearance of any of these phenomena, the shell should be replaced.
Because Hard Hats can be damaged, they should not be abused. They should be kept free from abrasions, scrapes, and nicks and should not be
dropped, thrown, or used as supports. This applies especially to Hard Hats that are intended to afford protection against electrical hazards.
Users should exercise extreme care in the selection and installation of accessories. The addition of accessories to the Hard Hat may adversely affect the
level of protection. The user should make sure that any accessory is compatible with the Hard Hat. Contact the Hard Hat or accessory manufacturer for
compatibility information.
Caution should be taken when marking or decorating Class G or E Hard Hats. Identification markers used on shells for Hard Hats meeting Class G or
E requirements shall be affixed without making holes through the shell and without the use of any metal parts. Metallic based markers such as some
reflective tapes, metal foil labels or metal foil hot stamps should NOT be applied.
