Smart PPE choices and sun protection can help keep Canadian outdoor workers safe, comfortable, and productive during the summer.

Update 01.05.25

1. Why PPE Matters in Hot Weather

Hot weather creates serious risks for outdoor workers—from heat stress and fatigue to prolonged UV exposure. Selecting heat-adapted PPE is essential to keeping workers safe and comfortable in industries like construction, landscaping, and municipal services.

The right PPE not only supports compliance, but also helps reduce physical strain, improve hygiene, and protect long-term health.

When selecting helmets for summer use, choose models that include:
 

  • Ventilation ports for improved airflow and reduced sweat buildup. Delta has an excellent selection of Vented Helmets
  • Light-colored shells like white or yellow to reflect sunlight
  • Cooling sweatbands or crown pads, some lasting up to 10 hours when soaked
  • Avoiding black helmets unless site roles require them, as they absorb more heat
     

These features make a major difference on long, sun-exposed shifts—helping reduce fatigue and boost productivity.

Sun Protection Essentials for Canadian Worksites

While some markets use UV-blocking neck shields, in Canada, sunscreen remains the frontline defense against sun exposure for the face, neck, and arms.

We recommend:
 

In addition to PPE, workers should apply sunscreen regularly, wear breathable clothing, and be encouraged to take:
 

  • Frequent shaded breaks
  • Hydration breaks with cool drinking water
  • PPE-free recovery periods during downtime
     

You can find more tips at the WSPS website.
