Heat stress is a serious, regulated risk on UAE work sites: MoHRE's midday break rule (Ministerial Resolution No. 44/2022) already bans outdoor work in direct sunlight from 12:30pm to 3pm every day between June 15 and September 15. Outside those hours, workers in construction, manufacturing, and logistics still face long shifts in extreme heat. InterKraft supplies and provides wearable cooling jackets from Hikari Cool of Japan to help manage that exposure.
What Is a Cooling Jacket?
It's a wearable garment with a battery-powered fan system that circulates air across the body to reduce heat stress during long shifts in high temperatures. Unlike passive cooling wear, it actively moves air rather than just wicking sweat, and it doesn't restrict movement the way heavier PPE can.
Who Is This For?
InterKraft supplies cooling jackets for:
- Construction workers on outdoor sites
- Manufacturing and warehouse staff in high-heat environments
- Logistics and delivery teams
- Oil and gas field workers
- Employers building out a heat stress management program for their workforce
How Does It Work?
Micro air circulation technology distributes cool air across the body using a rechargeable battery pack, built into a lightweight, ergonomic design made from durable, flexible materials. It's designed for extended operation across long working hours, and it targets cooling without restricting movement the way bulkier gear does.
Key Features
- Rapid body temperature reduction
- Rechargeable battery for extended shift coverage
- Low power consumption
- Lightweight, ergonomic design that doesn't restrict movement
- Easy maintenance and portability
Supplied by Hikari Cool
InterKraft supplies this cooling jacket from Hikari Cool of Japan. We handle the supply and provide ongoing support directly, so you have one point of contact rather than managing a separate manufacturer relationship.
Why Choose InterKraft for Heat Stress Protection
InterKraft works with construction firms, facility managers, and industrial employers across Dubai and the wider UAE to fit cooling jackets into an existing PPE and heat stress management program, rather than supplying them as a standalone item disconnected from the rest of your site's safety measures.
Frequently Asked Questions
The jacket uses micro air circulation technology powered by a rechargeable battery pack to distribute cool air across the body, reducing heat stress during long working hours without restricting movement.
MoHRE's midday break rule already prohibits outdoor work in direct sunlight from 12:30pm to 3pm between June 15 and September 15 each year. A cooling jacket doesn't replace that requirement, but it supports worker comfort and safety during the permitted working hours on either side of the ban, when heat stress is still a real risk.
Workers in construction, manufacturing, logistics, oil and gas, and other roles with prolonged outdoor or high-heat exposure. It also suits outdoor recreational use, such as hiking or cycling in high temperatures.
The rechargeable battery pack is designed for extended operation to cover long working shifts. Exact runtime depends on the fan speed setting used, so we discuss expected shift length when recommending a configuration.
