When should you wear the DNC hi-vis hat with flap instead of a hard hat?

Wear it for outdoor work where sun exposure and visibility are the hazards; where there is any risk of head impact or falling objects, a compliant hard hat is required.
When to wear it

Frequently asked questions
Does the DNC hi-vis hat with flap protect against head impacts?
No. The HO55 is sun-protective hi-vis headwear rather than a safety helmet, so it gives no impact protection and does not replace an AS/NZS 1801 hard hat. Where head impact or falling-object hazards exist on site, wear a compliant hard hat instead of this hat.
What is the flap on the DNC hi-vis hat for?
The flap shades the neck, ears and face to reduce sun exposure during outdoor work. Coverage matters most through long days in the sun for outdoor trades, traffic and roadside crews, and grounds and landscaping teams working in warm weather.

Sizes S, M, L and XL are listed, with colour options of yellow, orange, and yellow with navy. Several high-visibility colours suit different sites and uniform schemes, so confirm both the size and the colour on the product listing at Done Right Safety before you order for a crew.
Is the DNC hi-vis hat with flap suitable for all-day wear?
The HO55 is lightweight for all-day wear, and the flap adds coverage for the neck and ears during long days in the sun. Outdoor trades, traffic and roadside crews, and grounds and landscaping teams can keep it on through warm-weather work outdoors.
