Unvented Electrical and enclosed work Solid shell, lamp bracket and cable guide options

Choosing and replacing a safety hard hat

Match the hard hat to the hazard: general falling objects, heat, or electrical exposure. Adjust the harness so the helmet sits level and stays put when you bend over, and use a chin strap for work at heights or in wind. Check the shell and harness before each shift. Replace a hard hat after any significant impact, if the shell is cracked, chalky or deformed, or when the harness is damaged, and follow the manufacturer's service life. Keep stickers and cleaners within the manufacturer's guidance, because solvents can weaken some shells. The companion standard AS/NZS 1800 covers selection, care and use.

Accessories and spares

We stock chin straps, sweat bands, reflective tape, winter liners, neck sun shades and replacement V6 and V9 harnesses, so you can keep an existing hard hat in service. Pair a helmet with ear protection such as Viper and Python hard hat earmuffs, or safety glasses, browguards and visors.
