Head & Respiratory Protection matched to the workplace

ProfTek supplies the full Sir Safety head and respiratory protection range, industrial safety helmets, disposable and reusable respirators, face shields, hearing protection, and portable gas detectors. EN-certified hardware with cartridges and consumables held in Australian stock for fast cycle replenishment.Sub-Categories & StandardsSafety Helmets, EN 397 industrial helmets and bump capsBump Caps, EN 812 lightweight head protectionFirefighting Helmets, EN 443 structural firefightingFFP2 / FFP3 Respirators, EN 149 disposable, with and without valvesFace Masks, EN 140 half-face / EN 136 full-face with replaceable filter cartridgesFace Shields, EN 166 polycarbonate and mesh, for grinding, welding, forestryEar Muffs / Ear Plugs, EN 352 hearing protection with SNR ratingsGas Detectors, single-gas and multi-gas portable monitors (BW/Honeywell-compatible)Recurring Revenue & Compliance CyclesThis category is where most Australian industrial sites have ongoing PPE spend. Disposable respirators are consumed daily on dusty sites; reusable mask cartridges expire on a fixed calendar regardless of use; gas detector sensors need annual replacement and bump-test consumables. ProfTek can set up subscription replenishment for any of these line items, with cycle dates aligned to your maintenance schedule. For specifying respirator class against airborne contaminant, our team can match EN 149 / AS/NZS 1716 P-class to the SDS and exposure limits.

Bump Caps
3 products

Bump Caps

Sir Safety bump caps provide lightweight head protection for environments where a full EN 397 hard hat is unnecessary but bumps against static structures, low ceilings, or piping remain a hazard. EN 812 certified with a baseball-cap form factor for comfort across a full shift. Technical Specifications Standard: EN 812:2012 Construction: ABS impact shell inside a textile cap shell Form factor: Baseball cap, classic peak, or ventilated Adjustment: Velcro or sliding closure Where Bump Caps Are Right Bump caps are the right choice for warehouse picking, logistics floors with low racking, light assembly, food-processing plants, and aircraft maintenance. They are NOT a substitute for EN 397 helmets where overhead falling-object risk exists. ProfTek can supply Sir Safety bump caps with company embroidery for branded uniform issue.

Ear Muffs

Sir Safety industrial ear muffs protect hearing in high-noise environments, workshops, generators, compressor rooms, mining, construction. EN 352-1 (over-head) and EN 352-3 (helmet-mounted) certified, with AS/NZS 1270 referenced ratings from SNR 26 dB through to SNR 34 dB. Stark and Verishield ranges supplied across Australia and New Zealand.Technical SpecificationsStandards: EN 352-1 (headband), EN 352-3 (helmet-mounted), AS/NZS 1270:2002Attenuation (SNR): 26 dB to 34 dBH/M/L values: High/medium/low frequency attenuation breakdownRange: Stark 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11 (escalating SNR); Verishield VS100DH (SNR 26 dB)Cushion replacement: Pad sets for service-life extensionMatching Attenuation to Noise ExposureAustralian WHS requires hearing protection wherever sustained exposure exceeds 85 dB(A) over 8 hours. Workshop and light construction typically use SNR 26–28 dB. Heavy machinery, mining, and forestry use SNR 30+ dB. Over-protection causes communication problems and worker non-compliance, under-protection causes long-term hearing loss. ProfTek can supply Sir Safety attenuation datasheets to match the SNR to your measured workplace noise level.

Ear Plugs

Sir Safety industrial ear plugs provide hearing protection in compact, dispenser-friendly format. EN 352-2 (single-use) and EN 352-3 (corded) certified with AS/NZS 1270 referenced ratings. Ultra, X-flex, and Quiet ranges supplied in bulk packs and 500-pair dispensers across Australia and New Zealand.Technical SpecificationsStandards: EN 352-2 (plugs), EN 352-3 (banded), AS/NZS 1270:2002Form factor: Foam roll-down, pre-moulded, banded, corded, refill boxPack sizes: 200 / 500 pairs (refill) or 15 / 40 / 50 / 100 pair retailDispenser: Empty 500-pair dispenser for refill boxesRange: Ultra, X-flex, Quiet, Blu Power, Metal Flex, OndaPlug vs Muff DecisionEar plugs offer higher comfort for sustained wear, better compatibility with helmets and face shields, and lower per-shift cost, but require proper insertion training to achieve their rated attenuation. Muffs are easier to verify (visible seal) and faster to don/doff for intermittent exposure. Many sites issue both: muffs for noisy task entry and plugs for sustained exposure. ProfTek can advise on the right mix for your roster and supply dispenser stations for high-traffic noisy areas.
