Stickers on Hardhats

Q: Is there a regulation or standard that states a company may not apply stickers to a hard hat?

A: No there is no regulation or standard stating that but one thing that you want to ensure is that the sticker being applied will not affect the shell of the hardhat. Some stickers contain adhesives that may break down the outer shell and reduce the original protection rating. It is recommended to keep the stickers to a minimum so you can always see the shell and ensure that it is still in good condition.
