View Recommended ProductsHard hats should be replaced every 5 years from manufacture date or immediately after any impact. UV exposure degrades plastic over time - check for chalking, cracks, or brittleness. Keep your receipt and mark the purchase date inside the hat. Don't risk your life with expired PPE!

Everything you need to know about safety hats and PPE
AS/NZS 1801 is the Australian and New Zealand standard for occupational protective helmets. It specifies performance requirements for industrial safety helmets designed to protect against impact, penetration, and electrical shock. All hard hats sold in Australia must meet this standard to be legally compliant on worksites.
Replace your hard hat every 5 years from the manufacture date, or immediately after any significant impact. UV exposure, chemicals, and extreme temperatures can degrade the protective shell. Check for cracks, dents, chalking, or brittleness regularly. Mark the purchase date inside the hat to track its age.
Type 1 hard hats protect against top impact only and are suitable for most construction work. Type 2 hard hats provide both top and lateral (side) impact protection, required for mining, electrical tower work, and high-risk environments where side impacts are possible.
Yes! We offer free shipping on all orders over $100 Australia-wide. Orders under $100 incur a flat $9.95 shipping fee. Most orders are dispatched within 24 hours and delivery typically takes 3-7 business days depending on your location.
Class E (Electrical): Tested to withstand 20,000 volts - essential for electricians and electrical work.
Class G (General): Tested to withstand 2,200 volts - suitable for most construction work.
Class C (Conductive): No electrical protection - lightweight but unsafe around electricity.
You can add approved safety decals, but avoid using solvents, paints, or adhesives that may degrade the helmet material. Only use manufacturer-approved decals specifically designed for hard hats. Never paint the shell as it can hide cracks and weaken the plastic. Check our novelty section for pre-customized certified designs.
Yes! We offer bulk pricing for companies, construction firms, and mining operations. Contact us at bulk@safetyhats.com.au for volume discounts and custom ordering. Bulk orders receive priority shipping and can include customization options.
Most hard hats feature adjustable ratchet or pin-lock suspension systems that accommodate head sizes from 52cm to 64cm. The suspension should sit comfortably with 2-3cm clearance between your head and the shell. If the hard hat is too loose or tight after adjustment, you may need a different suspension system or size. We offer 30-day returns for fit issues.
