Safety Standards & Compliance

On the job site, safety isn't optional—it’s a legal obligation. At SHRYM Workwear, we design and engineer our apparel to not only meet but often exceed the strict regulatory requirements of Australia and New Zealand.

When you outfit your crew in SHRYM, you are ensuring your business stays fully compliant with AS/NZS standards, giving your team the ultimate protection on the ground.

Our Compliance Framework

Our heavy-duty apparel is rigorously tested and manufactured to align with the core Australian and New Zealand safety benchmarks:

☀️ High-Visibility & Day/Night Standards

For trades operating in high-risk environments, traffic zones, or low-light conditions, our hi-vis garments are engineered to keep workers seen and safe.

  • AS/NZS 4602.1: High-Visibility Safety Garments: Our hi-vis range complies with the design requirements for Class D (Day use only), Class N (Night use only utilizing retroreflective strips), and Class D/N (Day and Night use).

  • AS/NZS 1906.4: High-Visibility Materials: We use premium fluorescent materials and retroreflective tapes that meet strict luminance and durability benchmarks, ensuring they remain visible even after multiple heavy washes.

🛡️ Sun Protection (UPF Ratings)

Working under the harsh Australian and New Zealand sun requires commercial-grade UV protection.

  • AS/NZS 4399: Sun Protective Clothing: Our outdoor garments are evaluated and rated for Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF). We prioritize fabric weaves that achieve an Excellent Protection rating (UPF 50 or 50+), blocking out over 97% of harmful UVA and UVB rays.

Beyond the Standard: Built for the Real World

While meeting AS/NZS standards is our baseline, we build our workwear to exceed the wear-and-tear of everyday trade work:

  • Heavy-Duty Construction: Built with triple-stitched seams where it counts, our workwear is engineered to reinforce the high-stress areas that fail first.

  • Safe, Non-Toxic Chemistry: Compliance isn't just about visibility; it's about what touches your skin. All SHRYM fabrics are OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified, guaranteeing they are free from harmful or toxic chemical residues.
