Topgard® Slotted Caps and Non-Slotted Hats meet all applicable requirements for a Type I helmet (top impact) as outlined in ANSI/ISEA Z89.1-2009 (Class E) and CSA Z94.1-2005 (Class E).
Topgard Caps and Hats also meet the ANSI/ISEA Z89.1-2009 voluntary standard for reverse donning.
WARNING: Do not mix suspension and helmet sizes. Make sure the sizes match (i.e., standard-size suspension with standard-size helmet). Use only MSA suspensions on an MSA helmet. Failure to comply with the above will reduce the energy-absorbing ability of the protective helmet, which can result in serious injury or death.

Product Information
Lightweight, durable Topgard slotted caps and non-slotted hats are built for use by utilities and other industries where head protection from falling objects is necessary along with good dielectric properties (non-conduction of electrical current). Limited resistance to top impact or penetration is retained through a wide range of temperatures. Not designed to protect against lateral blows from the front, side or rear. MSA's Vanguard Type II protective helmets must be used if lateral protection is desired. For more information, contact your local MSA distributor.
