Hard Hat Type 1 Class E Protection
The Jackson Safety 20397 is a front-brim hard hat rated to ANSI Z 89.1 Type 1 Class E for electrical and impact protection. It is built from polyethylene and uses a four-point ratchet suspension that adjusts to fit head sizes 6-1/2 to 8. The shell has no vents and carries no high-visibility markings.
Electrical Workers and General Industry Use
This hat suits workers who need a non-vented, front-brim design that meets Class E insulation requirements. It is not intended for applications requiring top-impact Type 2 certification, integrated high-visibility colours, or vented shells for heat dissipation.
ANSI Z 89.1 Type 1 Class E Rating
The decisive specification is the ANSI Z 89.1 Type 1 Class E classification, which confirms protection against top impact and electrical contact up to 20 000 volts. Buyers must verify that their site safety plan calls for this exact type and class before purchase.

Questions about this item
How do I fit the 4-point ratchet suspension of the Jackson Safety 20397?
Place the hard hat on your head and turn the ratchet knob at the rear until the suspension feels secure but not tight; the common mistake is overtightening, which creates pressure points and reduces impact clearance.
What parts of the Jackson Safety 20397 will need replacement over time?
The polyethylene shell should be replaced if it shows cracks, gouges or UV chalking, and the 4-point ratchet suspension should be swapped when the ratchet mechanism slips or the webbing frays.
What is the first limitation of the Jackson Safety 20397 during extended wear?
The non-vented polyethylene shell traps heat, so the wearer typically feels overheating before any impact-protection limit defined by ANSI Z89.1 is reached.
