Preface
This Tentative Standard Z94.1-T is one of a series of CSA Standards on head and eye protection covering protective headwear, hearing protectors, and impact resistant lenses and radiation protection.
This Standard applies to safety hats and caps intended to provide protection for the heads of industrial workers from impact and electrical shock, excluding so-called Bump Hats. It includes requirements for material, workmanship, dielectric strength and impact strength, which supersede those covered by CSA Standard Z94-l948, Code for Head and Eye Protection. Methods of marking are also included.
