Workplace Sun Protection

Why hard hat sun protection matters

A standard hard hat does nothing for your face, ears and neck.

Those are exactly the spots that cop the most sun on a worksite, and in Australia that is a serious long-term risk. A brim or sun shade that clips to your hard hat shades the face and neck without getting in the way of your work or your head protection. It is a small add-on that pays off over a career.

Sun safety is not soft. On an outdoor site, it is part of looking after your crew.

How our workplace sun protection is different

We are a height safety specialist, so we choose sun protection that works with the gear you already wear. Brims and shades that fit common hard hats and do not interfere with your helmet or your job.

You get practical, hard-wearing add-ons from brands we trust, designed for real outdoor work.

How to choose the right sun protection for you

1. Check the fit. Brims and shades suit particular hard hat styles. Make sure it fits the helmets your team wears.
2. Coverage. A front brim shades the face. A full brim or neck shade adds ears and the back of the neck. Choose for where the sun hits.
3. Airflow and weight. In the heat, breathable, light shades are more likely to stay on.
4. Visibility. Hi-vis options keep you compliant and seen while you stay shaded.
