Nikki Hard Hats - Assorted Colors - With or without Lamp Brackets

Both the hardhat’s shell and suspension system must be inspected frequently for signs of wear and degradation. Field personnel who wear hardhats should check them at least monthly, if not more frequently. The shell should be inspected routinely for dents, cracks, nicks, gouges, and any damage that might reduce protection. Replace a hard hat at least once a year. Any hardhat that shows signs of worn or damaged parts should be removed from service immediately. The shell material may be degrading if the shell becomes stiff, brittle, faded, or appears dull or chalky. With further degradation, the shell’s surface may flake or delaminate. A hardhat should be replaced at the first sign of any of these conditions. Maintenance: Exposure to temperature extremes, sunlight, or chemicals (such as fire retardant, or tree-marking paint) shorten the useful life of a hardhat. Follow these practices top protect your hardhat and extend its service life: • Never store a hardhat in direct sunlight. • Remove dirt and stains from the shell and suspension system by scrubbing them with a mild detergent. • Rinse the shell thoroughly with warm (not hot) water. • Wipe the shell dry and carefully inspect the shell and the suspension systems for signs of wear and damage.
