🔍 Key Concepts

• OSHA / ANSI standards for protective helmets and what characteristics they define • Difference between type (impact direction) and class (electrical protection) for hard hats • How electrical protection ratings are usually described (e.g., no voltage vs. limited vs. high voltage)

💭 Think About

• Look for the choice that correctly separates impact protection from electrical protection, and think about which word (type or class) properly matches each function. • Ask yourself: Do hard hats get rated ONLY for electrical protection, ONLY for impact direction, or for both? Which option reflects that? • Consider how many dimensions a safety officer would care about when choosing a hard hat for a job near energized equipment versus one with only falling object hazards.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which term (type vs. class) is associated with direction of impact protection in safety standards. • Verify which term (type vs. class) is associated with exposure to electrical voltage in safety standards. • Eliminate any option that ignores one of these two major safety concerns: impact direction and electrical protection.
