ANSI Standard Z89.1-2003
Type II helmets that meet the 1997 or 2003 editions of ANSI Standard Z89.1,
American National Standard for Industrial Head Protection, may also be used at
the workplace. The ANSI Standard applies to protective helmets intended to
provide limited protection for the head against impact, flying particles, electric
shock or any combination of these hazards.
The Standard divides protective helmets into two types and three classes
according to their intended use. Type I helmets are intended to reduce the force
of impact resulting from a blow only to the top of the head. Type II helmets are
intended to reduce the force of impact resulting from a blow that may be
received off-centre or to the top of the head.
The three classes are as follows:
(a) Class G (General) — this Class is intended to reduce the danger of contact
exposure to low voltage conductors and must pass the 2200 V dielectricstrength
test specified for Class G helmets. These helmets are used in
mining, construction, shipbuilding, tunnelling, lumbering and
manufacturing.
(b) Class E (Electrical) — this Class is intended to reduce the danger of contact
exposure to high voltage conductors and must pass the 20,000 V dielectricstrength
test specified for Class E helmets. This Class of headwear is used
extensively by electrical workers.
(c) Class C (Conductive – no electrical protection) — this Class is designed
specifically for lightweight comfort and impact protection. This Class is
usually manufactured from aluminum and offers no dielectric protection.
Class C helmets are used in certain construction and manufacturing
occupations, oil fields, refineries and chemical plants where there is no
danger from electrical hazards or corrosion. They are also used on occasions
where there is a possibility of bumping the head against a fixed object.
ANSI types and classes are combined to provide products classified as Type I,
Class G or Type II, Class E, etc. Helmets meeting the ANSI requirements may
have a brim around the entire circumference of the helmet shell or have a partial
brim with a peak.
Subsection 234(2)
If the possibility of lateral impact to the head is unlikely, the headwear can meet
the requirements of
(a) CSA Standard CAN/CSA-Z94.1-05, Industrial Protective Headwear, or
(b) ANSI Standard Z89.1-2003, American National Standard for Industrial
Head Protection.
In assessing the “possibility of lateral impact to the head”, employers should
consider the likelihood of a lateral impact occurring. Headwear providing lateral
impact protection must be used if a lateral impact is foreseeable and likely based
on the type of work normally performed. Examples of typical workplace
situations requiring such protection include a workshop in which multiple
overhead cranes are used to transport loads around the shop, workers involved in
the felling of trees, workers involved in tree care operations (see Part 39) and
workers involved in processes in which substantial flying objects or debris are
generated.

Discussion
basic (operating temperature range from -10C to +50C - no special marking of the helmet)
for low temperature applications (operating temperature range from -20°C - labelling on the helmet -20°C)
for very low temperature applications (operating temperature range from -30°C – labelling on the helmet -30°C)
for very high temperature applications (operating temperature range to +150°C – labelling on the helmet +150°C)

Who is the manufacturer? or at least, which country?
A "CE" marking indicates that a helmet fulfills the requirements of the European Economic Community (EEC) Directive (89/686/EEC). This is a mandatory directive, thus helmets must be CE-marked if they are to be sold anywhere in Europe.
