Jackson Safety JKS20820 Hard Hat BlockheadII Vented Full Brim 6 1/2 to 8 Inch

The Jackson Safety JKS20820 is a BlockheadII hard hat, vented, full brim, sized 6-1/2 to 8 inch, in high-density polyethylene, white, with Rapid Dial suspension, 4 sizing points.

Vented is the specification here and it is the most consequential line in this listing. Vents are holes in the shell, and they do exactly what you would expect — they let heat out, which on a hot site through a long shift is a genuine comfort and heat-stress benefit.

They also mean the hat has no electrical protection. A vented hard hat cannot be rated for contact with energised conductors, because the shell is perforated. Any work near live electrical equipment requires a non-vented hat, and the non-vented Advantage in this range is that hat.

That is a decision made on the hazard, not on the weather. A crew that swaps to vented hats in August and works near a live panel has removed a protection nobody remembers they had.

Full brim gives all-round sun and rain protection, suiting outdoor ground work. It catches on structure, which makes it wrong for overhead and confined spaces.

Rapid Dial adjusts one-handed with gloves on.

The 4 sizing points spread load across four contact areas.

White commonly designates supervisors and visitors, though the site's own scheme governs.
