BUNZL SAFETY’S MISSION IS TO PROTECT WORKING LIVES BY PROVIDING HIGH QUALITY SAFETY SOLUTIONS AND GIVING BOTH EMPLOYERS AND WORKERS PEACE OF MIND. Industries such as mining, construction and forestry legally requires head protection that complies with Australian Standards. Our head & face category consists of a wide range of solutions suited to various industrial applications and environments, all of which meet AS/NZS 1801:1997. Bunzl Safety’s range can be fitted and customised with a wide array of accessories and options such as logo printing, reflective tapes, miners’ lamps and chin straps. In addition, safety helmets can be integrated with other personal protective equipment PPE such as earmuffs and face shields. AS/NZS 1801:1997 The objective of this Standard is to specify protective helmets that are to be worn in a variety of occupations, in order to reduce the severity of head injury from hazards associated with such activities. The Standard specifies requirements for occupational protective helmets to protect wearer’s heads from falling objects in building and construction, quarrying, shipbuilding, forestry and other occupations with similar hazards. These requirements include the construction and material of the helmet shell and head harness, mechanical strength of the shell and finish of the helmet. Three types of occupational protective helmets are specified on AS/NZS 1801:1997 as per below:
STANDARD HAT
Featuring a front short brim, the standard cap style is great for attaching accessories such as earmuffs with ease.
VENTED
WARM AIR FLOWS OUT
Vents in the top of the hard hat provide air flow in hot environments.
COOLING AIR FLOWS IN
NON-VENTED
Suitable for most environments, particularly those with dust or chemicals.
FULL BRIM
The full brim provides added protection from
falling objects, sun and rain. This style can however limit the options on attachable accessories.
General Industry Safety Helmets - ABS plastic Designed for high temperature applications - Polycarbonate Designed for bush fire fighting - Polycarbonate with bush fire applications

BUMP CAPS
Bump caps are adequate for protecting the head from light scrapes and knocks, however should not be used in place of hard hats (and where head protection is mandatory) as they do not comply to Australian Standards.
SNAP BRIMS
Providing protection from the sun, snap brims are sturdy and easily fit on to safety helmets.
FACE SHIELDS & VISORS
Clear polycarbonate face shields are high impact visors that attach to safety helmets and are used in many industries to protect workers against flying particles, liquid, chemical and molten splashes, radiated heat and glare.
