Vented Cap Style Hard Hat — GE PPE GH326, ANSI Z89.1-2014 Type 1 Class C

The GE GH326 is a vented, cap-style hard hat built for professionals who need reliable head protection with maximum breathability on active job sites. Constructed from 100% high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and certified to ANSI/ISEA Z89.1-2014, Type 1, Class C, it delivers high-impact resistance in a lightweight shell designed to keep workers cooler during extended shifts. The 4-point adjustable ratchet suspension, integrated adjustable nylon chin strap, and pre-installed earmuff slots make this helmet ready for demanding environments straight out of the box — no modifications required. Important: Class C certification means this helmet is not rated for electrical hazard protection and is not suitable for high-voltage work environments.

Why it stands out

• Vented shell for heat management: Ventilation channels promote maximum airflow through the helmet, reducing heat stress during long wear periods in warm or outdoor environments.
• Stays secure during active work: The adjustable nylon chin strap is specifically designed to prevent the hard hat from falling off when bending over or working at angles.
• Quick, tool-free fit adjustment: The easy adjustable ratchet system lets workers dial in their fit on the fly without removing the helmet.
• Accessory-ready from day one: Pre-installed side slots accept cap-mounted earmuffs without any drilling or adapters.
• Replaceable nylon suspension: The 4-point suspension system can be swapped out, extending the service life of the helmet shell.
• Large absorbent poly brow pad: Wicks moisture away from the forehead for added comfort during physically demanding tasks.

Who it's for

• Construction, infrastructure, and general industry workers in warm or outdoor environments where breathability is a priority.
• Job sites requiring ANSI/ISEA Z89.1-2014 Type 1, Class C compliant head protection.
