Whether you are using a Type 1 or Type 2 MSA hard hat, following proper care and use recommendations can help keep its protection capabilities in place. Be sure to inspect your hard hat prior to each use and during the day; remember, you might not notice when damage occurs and even a hairline crack can affect the integrity.

Not sure which category your hard hat falls into?

Type 1 options consist of:

  • V-Gard® Caps and Hats, including the new V-Card C1™ Hard Hat
  • SmoothDome® Caps
  • Thermalgard® Caps
  • Topgard® Caps and Hats
  • Skullgard® Caps and Hats
  • Comfo-Cap® Hard Hats

Type 2 options from MSA are Super V® Helmets, which feature a foam liner with integrated Fas-Trac® suspension and are slotted for use with MSA accessories.

But what about other questions you may have, such as what is the service life of an MSA industrial helmet? Or can a baseball cap be worn under an MSA industrial helmet?

Download the guide to get answers to the most frequently asked questions about the care and use of MSA hard hats.
