Published by SALUSI am sorry, but the documents provided do not contain information regarding the expiration of hard hats. However, OSHA does have requirements for head protection. The employer needs to ensure that each affected employee wears a protective helmet when working in areas where there is a potential for injury to the head from falling objects [1].
For further information about hard hat use and care, consult OSHA 29 CFR 1910.135 and ANSI Z89.1-2009, Z89.1-2003, or Z89.1-1997 standards [1].

- 1. Read and heed all instructions provided by the manufacturer on use, maintenance, cleaning and care, and warnings regarding the respirators limitations. - 2. Choose respirators certified for use to protect against the contaminant of concern. NIOSH, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, certifies respirators. A label or statement of certification should appear on the respirator or respirator packaging. It will tell you what the respirator is designed for and how much it will protect you. - 3. Do not wear your respirator into atmospheres containing contaminants for which your respirator is not designed to protect against. For example, a respirator designed to filter dust particles will not protect you against gases, vapors, or very small solid particles of fumes or smoke. - 4. Keep track of your respirator so that you do not mistakenly use someone else's respirator.
