PPE Accessories

Common PPE accessories that enhance jobsite comfort and safety include hard hat pads, suspension liners, tool lanyards, glove clips, and cooling neck shades. These add-ons help reduce fatigue, minimize drop risks, and improve long-term wearability in tough environments.

Sun and neck shades attach to hard hats and extend coverage around the face and neck, helping to block direct sunlight and harmful UV rays. Many are made of breathable mesh to improve airflow, reducing the risk of heat exhaustion during outdoor work.

PPE accessories like tool lanyards, and dry bags help workers keep essential tools secure and accessible. These add-ons reduce tool drop risks, prevent gear loss, and improve productivity by minimizing downtime on the jobsite.

For ANSI-rated protection, choose safety glasses and goggles labeled Z87.1+ and face shields marked with Z87.1. These protect against impacts, debris, sparks, and chemical splashes, and are required for many industrial and construction applications.

The right PPE accessory depends on your trade’s risks. For example, construction workers may need tool lanyards and sun shades, while welders require high-shade goggles. Consider your environment, exposure risks, and task demands when selecting support gear.
