STUDSON introduces first ANSI Z89.1 Type II-rated full brim safety helmet at ASSP Safety Conference and Expo 2023
In pursuit of creating the safest and most technologically advanced industrial safety helmet, North American safety helmet innovator STUDSON today announced its new SHK-1 Full-Brim ANSI Type II Safety Helmet at ASSP Safety 2023. The new full-brim helmet represents the first of its kind in the Type II safety helmet category.
The STUDSON SHK-1 Full-Brim safety helmet is designed to prevent traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), featuring technologies to absorb impacts from fall-related injuries on any jobsite. It is the only full-brim safety helmet that complies with American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Z89.1Type I and II safety standards, meaning it is designed to reduce force as a result of impacts to the front, back, sides, and the top of the head. Most existing hard hats are only Type I compliant, meaning they are only rated to protect the head from falling objects.
