At Pirtek, we work across a broad range of hard hat industries and we’re passionate about positive mental health. We care for the mental wellbeing for our hundreds of customers, technicians, employees and colleagues. We know that mental health in the hard hat industries needs to be spoken about and the stigma associated with it must be removed. We want to provide help and support.
