What does Type 1 to AS/NZS 1801 mean for this hard hat?
AS/NZS 1801 is the Australian and New Zealand standard for industrial safety helmets, and a Type 1 helmet such as the Force360 HPFPR57R protects against impact to the top of the head, the common general industry requirement. Type 2 adds lateral protection. Vented shells suit heat but not live electrical work.
AS/NZS 1801 is the Australian/New Zealand standard for industrial safety helmets. Type 1 helmets protect against impact to the top of the head (the common general-industry requirement); Type 2 adds lateral protection. A vented helmet improves airflow but is not suitable for live electrical work, so use a non-vented, electrically rated helmet where that hazard exists.
How do you adjust the fit and add earmuffs or visors?
The premium 6-point terylene harness spreads load and adjusts with a ratchet, so a secure fit is quick to set and both comfort and protection improve. Universal 25mm and 30mm slots take Force360 earmuffs and visors, building a combined head, hearing and face protection system on one helmet.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Force360 Type 1 hard hat compliant for Australian worksites?
The Force360 HPFPR57R is a Type 1 helmet manufactured to AS/NZS 1801, the Australian and New Zealand standard for industrial safety helmets, and it is Australian designed and made. Type 1 covers impact to the top of the head, the common general industry requirement.
Can you wear the Force360 vented hard hat for electrical work?
No. The Force360 HPFPR57R is a vented helmet, and vents improve airflow but rule it out for live electrical work. Where that hazard exists, wear a non-vented, electrically rated helmet instead. Vented shells like this one are built for hot, humid conditions.
What earmuffs and visors fit the Force360 hard hat?
The Force360 HPFPR57R carries universal 25mm and 30mm slots, so Force360 earmuffs and visors attach to the shell. Adding them builds a combined head, hearing and face protection system on one helmet, so hearing and face protection mount to the same shell rather than being worn separately.
What is the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 hard hats?
Type 1 helmets protect against impact to the top of the head, which is the common general industry requirement, while Type 2 adds lateral protection. The Force360 HPFPR57R is a Type 1 helmet made to AS/NZS 1801, so check your site rules before choosing it over a Type 2 helmet.
