Find it. Love it. Keep it. Branded safety and PPE is where your brand shows up on site — the hi-vis vest at the 6am toolbox talk, the hard hat on the induction photo, the safety glasses in the contractor's ute. Sense2 has been briefing compliant, on-brand PPE for Australian construction, resources, utilities and government teams for 30 years, with thousands of 5-star Google reviews and the kind of creative thinking that turns a standard AS/NZS 4602 vest into a piece of brand culture.

Best for
Choose custom safety & ppe if your moment is contractor inductions and site onboarding, construction and infrastructure launches or community safety and council campaigns.
Contractor inductions and site onboarding
Pair a branded hi-vis vest with a hard hat sticker set and a pocket-sized safety card. The vest becomes the induction photo; the brand turns up every morning at the gate.
Construction and infrastructure launches
Sod-turning and topping-out ceremonies call for branded hard hats with a clean pad-printed logo on the front and embroidered names on the harness. VIP hats get kept on office shelves for years.
Community safety and council campaigns
High-vis kids' vests, reflective slap-bands, first aid kits and branded sunscreen suit road-safety weeks, bushfire-prep drives and 'Be Seen' campaigns. Screen print on 4602.2 day-use fabric keeps unit costs in check at volume.
Mining, resources and utilities fleets
Two-tone hi-vis polos with embroidered logo, hard hats in brand colours, safety glasses with pad-printed arms and a branded first aid kit in every vehicle. Kitted and drop-shipped to multiple depots.
“Our induction kits arrived two days ahead of schedule and the hi-vis vests looked exactly like the mockups — crisp logo, reflective tape sitting right, fabric weight our WHS lead was thrilled with. The team made a complicated brief feel easy.”
“We commissioned ceremonial hard hats for a topping-out event and they were every bit as beautiful as we'd hoped — embroidered names, clean brand colours, and a quiet luxury to them that made the executives actually want to keep them on their office shelves. The Sense2 team understood the moment.”
“Customers consistently rate Sense2 for bringing brand thinking and warmth to even the most compliance-heavy categories — from hi-vis to hard hats, with delivery that always lands on time.”

How to choose
Start with the compliance standard, not the style — that's the part we enjoy getting right for a WHS brief. If the PPE is worn on a public road, rail corridor or after dark, you need AS/NZS 4602.1 Class D/N hi-vis with retroreflective tape, not a day-only vest. If it's a community event or a site induction during daylight only, Class D on lighter fabric is fine and the unit economics hold up at larger volume. We'll route you to the right standard on the first call. Fabric and weight matter more than people expect. Lightweight 120gsm polyester suits summer events and short-wear inductions; 160-200gsm birdseye mesh or two-tone cotton-backed polyester is what fleets and crews wear every day for a year. Embroidery reads as premium on polos and jackets; screen print gives you a bolder logo at lower unit cost on vests and t-shirts; sublimation on hi-vis polos lets you run full-colour artwork on the back panel without cracking. Hard hats come in Type 1 (top-impact) and Type 2 (top and lateral). Most Australian sites run Type 1 vented for comfort; resources and electrical specify unvented and sometimes Class E for electrical work. Pad print on the front panel is the standard brand placement; wrap labels on the side and embroidered name tags on the harness work for VIPs and long-serving crews. Safety glasses are the one category where people try to save a dollar and regret it. AS/NZS 1337.1 medium-impact rating is the baseline; anti-fog, anti-scratch and UV400 are worth the small premium for outdoor crews. Pad print on the arms is clean; laser engraving is more premium but slower. Gloves split into general-purpose (nitrile-dipped), cut-resistant (ANSI A2-A5) and chemical; match to task, not to price. On MOQ: hi-vis vests, hats and glasses typically start at 25-100 units; custom-printed first aid kits start at 50. At 500+ across a mixed PPE kit, expect 20-35% off the 100-qty tier. Always order a sample — the weight of the fabric, the clarity of the reflective tape and the print register tell you everything a spec sheet can't. Forty-eight hours from request to your desk.
Pricing guidance
Pricing rule of thumb: at 100 units with a 1-colour print, a day-use hi-vis vest sits around AU$6-$10, a Class D/N hi-vis vest with reflective tape AU$9-$18, a hi-vis polo AU$14-$28, a branded hard hat AU$9-$24, safety glasses AU$4-$12 and a compact branded first aid kit AU$14-$38. At 500 units those drop 20-35%. Embroidery on polos adds AU$2.50-$5 per unit with a one-time digitising fee around AU$55. Pad print setup on hard hats and glasses is AU$45-$75 per colour, once off. Full-colour sublimation on polos is priced per panel.

Frequently asked questions
What's the minimum order for custom safety and PPE?▾
Most hi-vis vests, hard hats and safety glasses start at 25-100 units. Custom-printed first aid kits and gloves typically start at 50. At 500+ across a mixed PPE kit, expect 20-35% off the 100-qty tier. For small pilot runs on ceremonial hard hats we can often drop to 25.
Is your PPE compliant with Australian Standards?▾
Yes. Our hi-vis meets AS/NZS 4602.1 (Class D for day, D/N for day and night), hard hats meet AS/NZS 1801, safety glasses meet AS/NZS 1337.1 medium-impact, and gloves meet AS/NZS 2161 where applicable. Compliance certificates and test reports are available on request before order confirmation.
How long does custom PPE take to produce and deliver?▾
Standard lead time is 7-15 business days from artwork approval. Many hi-vis, hard hat and safety glasses lines can be branded in 3-5 business days for induction-week deadlines. We regularly kit and drop-ship to multiple depots and remote sites across Australia — tell us the mobilisation date on day one and we'll work back from it.
What branding methods work best on hi-vis, hard hats and glasses?▾
Screen print is the standard on hi-vis vests — bold logo, low unit cost, holds on polyester. Embroidery suits polos and jackets and reads as premium. Hard hats take pad print cleanly on the front panel, with optional wrap labels and embroidered harness name tags. Safety glasses take pad print on the arms or laser engraving for a more premium finish.
Can I see a sample before I order?▾
Yes. Free samples ship Australia-wide, dispatched within 48 hours. For larger runs we produce pre-production samples with your actual artwork so your WHS lead can check fit, fabric weight, reflective-tape placement and print register before bulk production. After 30 years of PPE briefs, we know the sample is what makes the decision.
Do you offer eco-friendly or recycled PPE options?▾
Yes. Our eco range includes hi-vis garments made from recycled polyester (rPET), FSC paper-backed first aid kit boxes and biodegradable nitrile gloves. Certifications available on request. Sustainability, done credibly — recycled substrates without compromising AS/NZS compliance.
