OSHA does not address the “sticker” issue in the Agency’s regulations.
The ANSI standard ANSI Z89.1-1997 does not specifically address the issue either. It does say to take caution when marking or decorating Class G (general) or Class E (electrical) helmets. The ANSI standard warns against affixing markers that would make holes or damage the hat.
