Product Description

3M Hard Hat H-700 Series have a tough, durable shell and
adjustable suspension system that work together to help absorb
the impact of small falling objects and help protect workers from
bumping into fixed objects. The suspension sits lower on the head
to help reduce pressure and increase security. Featuring a
four-point ratchet suspension system, these hard hats are
adjustable, delivering a comfortable, secure fit that helps
reduce discomfort and slippage. Soft brow pads cushion the
forehead and are removable for easy replacement. 3M Uvicator
sensor lets wearer know when to replace hard hat due to UV
exposure. Vents built into the hard hat help release heat buildup
and allow air circulation to enhance the comfort of the worker.

From the Manufacturer
---------------------
3M™ Hard Hat H-700 Series with 4-Point Ratchet Suspension and
UVicator™ Sensor is comfortable, tough and lightweight protective
headgear that helps protect the top of the head due to the
potential hazard of small falling objects or exposed fixed
objects that may be bumped into. The UVicator sensor changes
color as the hard hat is exposed to UV light. The sun’s UV rays
can cause a hard hat shell to become brittle and compromise its
ability to protect the wearer. With the UVicator sensor, the hard
hat should be replaced when the sun-smart sensor changes from red
to white. A 4-point ratchet suspension adjusts easily to allow
for a customized height and fit that best suits the individual
who wears the hard hat. The ratchet system allows tightening or
loosening the fit without taking the hard hat off.
Workers wearing this hard hat will also appreciate its low
profile design and balanced fit, which provide for a more
comfortable and less obtrusive feel. A short brim allows for
upward visibility, a feature that can enhance both safety and
productivity. The soft brow pad cushions the forehead and is
removable for easy replacement. For added versatility, the hard
hat features accessory slots to accommodate 3M’s cap ed
ear-muffs, headgear, faceshields, and welding helmets (all sold
separately). A hard hat is commonly worn in these industries:
heavy and light industrial, construction, oil and , road work,
forestry, and mining.
This hard hat meets requirements of ANSI/ISEA Z89.1-2009 Type 1,
Class C, G and E. The hat may be worn in either the forward or
reverse donning position. Hat weighs 12.8 ounces.
The rigid shell of the 3M™ H-700 Series Hard Hat helps reduce
chances of injury by deflecting small falling objects from
striking the head of the person who wears this protective
headgear. The hard hat also helps protect from injuries due to
bumping into stationary objects such as pipes, rods, shafts,
construction timbers, branches, or exposed electrical conductors.
The suspension system inside the hard hat helps absorb the
effects of the impact to dissipate the force. Even small objects
can cause significant injury due to the force built up from the
momentum of falling. Something as small as a washer or coin can
strike with the force of several pounds if it falls far enough.
3M hard hats reduce the impact if a strike occurs.
