Forestry Hard Hats

Forestry hard hats are essential for arborists, forestry workers and anyone carrying out grounds maintenance. They are fitted with hearing protection and face visors that offer protection from the noise and flying debris created by bush cutters, strimmers, leaf blowers and chainsaws. Some of our forestry helmets even include chin straps for working at height and neck capes for keeping sunburn at bay. These helmets are primarily orange in colour, so they stand out against green surroundings.

Forestry Hard Hats & Arborist Helmets

If you spend most of your day working with a chainsaw in your hand, then you almost certainly need an accompanying forestry hard hat with a face shield and ear defenders. Without this, you leave your face vulnerable to flying debris and your ears open to hearing damage caused by the resonating buzz of the chainsaw.

Our range of forestry helmets comes complete with ear protectors and mesh visors to protect the face and ears. The safety helmet component that protects your head from falling debris is available with or without a chin strap, making it ideal for those working at ground level or up in a tree.

Integrated safety specs are included with many of our tree surgeon hard hats, ensuring that you can protect your eyes from fluid just as aggressively as your face. For those that need it, sun capes and throat guards are available, ensuring every inch of your head is protected.

Key Features To Consider When Buying Your Hard Hat For Tree Work

Do You Work At Height?

If you are tree climbing and working at height, you need a chin strap on your helmet. A Chin Strap will prevent the helmet from coming off in an accident, even if you are fully inverted. Depending on your working environment, you may need a breakaway chinstrap or an unbreakable strap.

A lightweight helmet will also be beneficial if you do a lot of climbing and working at height.

Do You Need Hearing Protectors On Your Forestry Helmet?

The answer to this is almost certainly yes. Ensure any chainsaw helmet you purchase is compatible with or has installed integrated ear muffs. Buying pre-integrated ear protection will ensure you always have adequate hearing protection on you at all times.

Do You Need Integrated Safety Glasses?

Although the mesh visor is excellent at stopping solid objects from hitting the face, it does not prevent liquids or other organic matter, such as decomposing animals and faeces, from striking the eyes. If you do any brush cutting or strimming, then integrated eye protection is something you will want to consider strongly.

Do You Need A Sun Cape?

A sun cape on your helmet does not just protect you from sunburn; it can also help stop sawdust and other debris from making their way down the back of your clothing.

Mesh Visor Types

There are multiple ratings of mesh visors covered within EN1731; mesh visors protect against solid objects flying toward the face. Depending on the helmet model you are looking at, the mesh will be made from different materials, such as stainless steel.
