Outdoor workers across Australia face the massive problem of staying hydrated in hot or even extreme conditions. For construction workers, miners and road crews, dehydration is a risk, especially in summer. It can impact health and wellbeing and affect judgement, increasing the potential for on-site accidents.
Yet efficient hydration options are hard to find.
- Hydration backpacks are often too flimsy for tough worksites.
- They are typically grey or black, making workers hard to spot.
- They are uninsulated, meaning the water is warm and unappealing.
- The tube gets hot and dusty, reducing water quality.
- The hydration bladder gets dirty and is hard to clean.
- The pack snags on machinery, a safety hazard for the wearer.
- Water bottles interrupt workflow for drink breaks and refills.
Why let safety, productivity and morale take a direct hit?
Camelbak has your back!
The Camelbak Hi-Viz Crux hydration pack, in fluoro lime or orange, provides instant site visibility. Tough, durable and resistant to on-site knocks, it’s the ultimate in hands-free hydration. The 2.5 litre Mil Spec Crux Reservoir delivers 25% more water per sip than the recreational Crux Reservoir, with the user in control of water flow.
Why down tools to grab a bottle or fiddle with tubes? The ‘bite and suck’ valve allows the wearer to drink as and when required. This delivers hydration in real time, straight to the mouth - on demand, on the go.
With brushes to clean the reservoir and tube, and cleaning tablets for all-round, ongoing hygiene, the Hi-Viz Crux is easy to fill, use and clean. That’s a heap of workplace problems solved.
Apply the solution. Enjoy the benefits.
For workersHelp your workers stay optimally hydrated on every job. Miners underground in soaring temperatures, road crews labouring on hot tarmac and construction workers using heavy equipment in the summer sun can drink as they work, on demand, hands free.
For employersProductivity and performance get a boost when workers are hydrated, comfortable and safe. Extend the time workers can stay comfortably at their posts. Reduce interruptions, work delays and extended breaks caused by dehydration.
For OHSPut safety first, every time. High viz colours, and reflective strips on the pack and harness for enhanced low-light visibility, make it an ideal addition to PPE. The tear-away harness detaches if the pack gets caught on machinery or natural hazards. The pack is insulated so water stays cool in hot weather, while the integrated cover and cleaning kit help maintain hygiene.
For reducing single-use plasticsCamelbak offers hydration packs or a range of stainless steel, vacuum-insulated water bottles for easy refills, allowing for the transition away from single-use plastic bottles.
According to Danielle Streitberg, Senior Brand Manager Sea to Summit, Camelbak hydration options have you covered. “Camelbak has always been a market leader, with safety as top priority. The high visibility, hands-free option helps keep workers safe, comfortable and productive in the toughest conditions.”
Keep your reservoirs looking great and tasting fresh. Periodic cleaning with CamelBak Crux Cleaning Kit, Cleaning Tabs keeps reservoir and tube free from taste and odour. From eco-friendly cleaning tablets to bottle brush, we've got what you need to make cleaning a breeze.
