SHK-1 Full Brim Non-Vented, ANSI Only (Class E)

SHK-1 Full Brim Non-Vented Safety Helmet

The SHK-1 Full Brim Non-Vented is a Class E, ANSI/ISEA Z89.1-2014 Type I & II certified safety helmet built for electricians, utility workers, and anyone working in or around high-voltage environments. Rated to 20,000 volts, it combines a fully sealed non-vented shell with Koroyd impact absorption, Twiceme NFC emergency data, and a Fidlock magnetic chin strap. Full brim coverage on all sides. One size fits most, 53–63 cm. Available in 17 colors. Weight: [confirm 545g].

What safety standards does the SHK-1 Full Brim Non-Vented meet?

The SHK-1 Full Brim Non-Vented is certified to ANSI/ISEA Z89.1-2014 (R2019) Type I & Type II, Class E. Class E certification means the helmet is electrically rated to 20,000 volts AC — the highest electrical rating available under ANSI standards. Type II certification covers impacts from the top, front, side, and rear. The helmet also meets EN 12492:2012 covering shock energy absorption (Clauses 4.2.1.2–4.2.1.4), penetration resistance (Clause 4.2.2), retention system strength (Clause 4.2.3), and retention system effectiveness and roll-off (Clause 4.2.4).

Note: Certified to ANSI/ISEA Type II standards (United States). Not certified to CSA Z94.1 Type II (Canada). Always verify helmet class matches your site's assessed electrical hazards before use.

Why non-vented for electrical work?

A non-vented shell has no openings in the outer surface — eliminating any pathway for electrical conductivity through the helmet. Vented helmets, regardless of their electrical class rating, cannot achieve Class E certification because the vents create a potential conductive path. If your job site involves electrical hazards up to 20,000 volts, a fully sealed non-vented shell is required. The SHK-1 Full Brim Non-Vented is built specifically for those environments.
