ANSI Mesh Nape Protectors: Effective Protection against Heat and the Sun's Harmful UVA/UVB Rays

During the warmer months, for outdoor workers in industries such as road repair, construction, roofing, and landscaping, heat stress is a major issue. And for these workers, August typically brings the most dangerous temperatures of the season creating a sharp rise in heat-related illnesses. Heat stress has a broad range of adverse effects - it slows cognitive abilities and impairs fine motor skills, not only making work less productive, but also dangerous. In the worst cases, high temperatures and over exposure to sun can result in serious health issues requiring medical attention so it is important to take steps to reduce the risks of heat/sun exposure.

One of the easiest and most effect ways to enhance protection for outdoor work is by shielding the neck, face, and ears from the sun with lightweight ANSI Mesh Neck Shades. These neck shades offer multiple advantages: 

• They block up to 99% of the sun‚s harmful UVA and UVB rays keeping the wearer cooler and protected from the sun.
• They attach easily and securely to hard hats with an elastic edge. 
• They provide high-visibility on the job and are available in lime with 1-1/2” orange/silver/orange reflective stripes or orange with lime/silver/lime reflective stripes.

Another available option, economy nape protectors, are made of 100% white cotton. These are also effecting in refracting the sun's rays making outdoor work more cool and comfortable.
