Industrial safety helmets divide into two ANSI/ISEA Z89.1 impact types (Type I top-only, Type II top+side) and three electrical classes: Class E proof-tested at 20,000 V, Class G at 2,200 V, and unrated Class C. EN 397, EN 14052, EN 12492, and EN 50365 cover European equivalents.

Respirators split into two NIOSH-recognized families, air-purifying (APR) and atmosphere-supplying (ASR), with five APR and three ASR sub-types, each carrying a different assigned protection factor. Selecting between them is driven by hazard type, oxygen level, and fit-test class, not by comfort or
Respirator installation begins with oxygen verification above 19.5%, 42 CFR Part 84 Subpart J component matching, and a 0.2 µm hydrophobic PTFE sterile-grade tank vent. Match Type A/B/C to the hazard, then validate hose, harness, and facepiece specs against subpart G.
Safety shoes are classified by toe material (steel, composite, alloy) and by EN ISO 20345 codes S1 through S5, with separate ASTM F2413 ratings for impact, compression, electrical hazard, and puncture protection. Choosing the right class depends on impact risk, electrical exposure, wet conditions, a
