Top Contractors Transitions Invests in STUDSON Safety Helmet

Brasfield & Gorrie, one of the nation’s largest privately held construction firms, has transitioned to Type II safety hard hats. The general contractor’s top value and priority is the safety of its more than 4,000 employees, which makes improved head protection a natural choice. The STUDSON SHK-1 Full Brim Type II Safety Helmets is among the models available to employees.

Last year, Brasfield & Gorrie leadership began introducing Type II safety helmets to its employees and subcontractors. In September, the helmets became mandatory for all employees. The STUDSON SHK-1 Full-Brim Type II safety helmet is designed to provide enhanced protection against traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) on jobsites compared to traditional Type I hard hat designs, which have seen limited changes over the past century. The Type II design incorporates additional safety features that aim to help reduce the risk of certain head injuries.

The STUDON SHK-1 Full Brim ANSI Type II Safety Helmet features Koroyd welded polymer tubes for absorbing impacts while improving heat dissipation thanks to its cellular structure that vents heat more effectively than standard EPS foam. In addition, Twiceme technology digitally integrates a wearer’s vital health data via a near-field communication (NFC) chip, making it accessible to colleagues and first responders with a scan from any smartphone.
