It is important to protect all parts of the face, especially the nose and ears, which can O.5.4.5.5 receive significant exposure. Lightweight balaclavas exist for such a purpose. The hands are also vulnerable, which can be protected by wearing appropriate lightweight gloves.O.5.4.5.6 When wearing a safety helmet, additional protection may be needed to protect the face, ears and neck. Various sun protection accessories are available for attachment to helmets, e.g. broad rims, peaks and neck flaps that cover the back and sides of the neck. Also see O.5.4.5.3. Rope access technicians should not forget to cover their head and neck after removal of their safety helmets outdoors. A wide brimmed hat and neck flap made from a close-weave fabric of UPF 50+ should provide sufficient head protection. As a hat is likely to protect the face only from direct sunlight and is unlikely to stop exposure from reflected or scattered UV radiation, an appropriate sunscreen should be used also.O.5.4.6Additional guidance
