Bump caps are lightweight, low-profile head protection for tight spaces where the risk is bumping into fixed objects such as pipes, ductwork, beams and equipment. We carry bump caps from PIP®, Pyramex, Ergodyne and Studson.
Bump Cap or Hard Hat?
A bump cap is not a hard hat. Bump caps are not designed to the ANSI/ISEA Z89.1 hard hat standard, and they don't protect against falling or flying objects. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.135 requires a protective helmet wherever there is a potential for head injury from falling objects. In those areas, choose a hard hat or safety helmet instead.
Bump caps fit well in maintenance, warehousing, automotive service and food processing, where clearance is tight but there's no overhead hazard.
