Australia’s diverse and challenging work environments demand more from Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Whether it's enduring the blazing summer sun, staying hydrated in arid condition, or ensuring breathability for long hours of work, the right PPE is crucial for worker safety and productivity.
TRu Brands, are dedicated to providing innovative PPE solutions tailored for these unique conditions. From breathable fabrics to advanced UV protection, our products deliver both safety and performance. Here’s how our market-leading solutions can transform your worksite.
Breathable, Lightweight Fabrics for Maximum Comfort
Hot and humid conditions can quickly lead to discomfort, reduced efficiency, and even heat-related illnesses. TRu Workwear’s lightweight, breathable fabrics are designed to combat these challenges.
Moisture-Wicking Technology: Keeps workers dry and comfortable by pulling sweat away from the skin, ensuring cooling even in high temperatures.
Ventilation Panels: Strategically placed to promote airflow, reducing heat build-up.
Durability Meets Comfort: Despite being lightweight, these fabrics are built tough to endure the rigors of demanding worksites.
According to Safe Work Australia, heat stress is a significant hazard for outdoor workers, leading to fatigue, dehydration, and even heat stroke. By ensuring workers stay cool, TRu Workwear helps maintain productivity and reduces the risk of heat-related incidents.
Force360: UPF50+ Hand Protection for Harsh UV Exposure
Prolonged exposure to the sun can lead to severe consequences, from skin damage to heat-related illnesses. Force360’s range of hand protection takes safety to the next level by integrating UPF50+ protection across its gloves.
Advanced UV Protection: Blocks 98% of harmful UV rays, safeguarding one of the most exposed parts of the body.
Ergonomic Fit: Designed to provide a secure, comfortable fit that doesn’t compromise dexterity.
Durability: Built for rugged Australian conditions, ensuring gloves remain effective throughout the workday.
Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer globally, with outdoor workers receiving up to 10 times more UV exposure than indoor workers (Cancer Council Australia). Investing in UV-protective PPE isn’t just about compliance—it’s about saving lives.
Broad Brim Hard Hats for Comprehensive Sun Protection
Force360’s Australian-made broad brim hard hats offer superior protection for workers exposed to prolonged sunlight.
Wide Brim Design: Provides shade for the face, ears, and neck, reducing the risk of sunburn and heat exhaustion.
Adjustable Comfort: A snug, customizable fit ensures the hard hat stays secure during rigorous activities.

Sunburn is not only painful but can lead to fatigue, heat exhaustion, and decreased efficiency. Ensuring workers are shaded is critical to maintaining safety and productivity.
Body Armour Hydration: Combatting Dehydration On-Site
Hydration is key to worker safety and efficiency, especially during hot Australian summers. Body Armour’s hypotonic hydration formula is engineered to replenish fluids fast.
Rapid Absorption: Hypotonic solutions hydrate faster than water, making them ideal for demanding worksites.
Electrolyte Boost: Replaces essential minerals lost through sweat, preventing cramping and fatigue.
On-the-Go Convenience: Compact, easy-to-use packaging ensures workers stay hydrated wherever they are.
Dehydration can decrease physical and mental performance by up to 25%, according to Australian research. Workers who are well-hydrated are more alert, efficient, and less prone to heat-related illnesses.
