What is the Class G helmets intended to reduce the danger of exposure to?

• A. Low voltage
• B. High voltage
• C. Conductive hazards
• D. Impact injuries

Answer: (A)

Class G helmets are designed to reduce the risk of electric shock from low-voltage electrical sources. The G rating indicates insulation up to about 2,200 volts, providing protection in situations with typical low-voltage electrical exposure. For higher voltages, you’d use a helmet with a different rating (Class E). While impact protection is a general function of most hard hats, the Class G designation specifically addresses electrical insulation against low-voltage hazards, not high-voltage exposure or other hazard types.
