About
Hard Hat Yarns brings workplace health and safety to life through four characters, quick sketches, short stories and practical safety tips. There’s room for a laugh, but safety is always taken seriously.
Our stories highlight good practice, the small choices that help prevent harm, and lessons worth carrying onto the next job. We also share WHS updates and tips with sources so readers can check the details.
Created in Western Australia, Hard Hat Yarns is made with Australian workplaces in mind and for anyone, anywhere, who wants to make work safer. As WHS laws and guidance vary between places, check the relevant local sources for requirements that apply to you.
What We Make
- Site sketches: everyday site situations, each with a clear safety lesson.
- Small Choices stories: short stories about the decisions that prevent harm and build trust at work.
- Safety tips and WHS explainers: plain English, with sources from Safe Work Australia, state regulators such as WorkSafe WA, and the legislation.
WHS resources by state → Regulators, incident numbers and laws for every Australian state and territory.
General information only, not legal advice. Laws change and every workplace is different. Check the current law where you work (in Australia, your state or territory legislation and Safe Work Australia or your regulator; elsewhere, your local laws and regulator), and get professional advice for your situation.
AI disclosure: the Hard Hat Yarns characters are AI-generated avatars, and some visuals and voices are created with AI tools. Videos are disclosed as AI-generated on each platform.
