STUDSON Introduces Safety Helmet at ASSP Safety Conference and Expo 2023

The SHK-1 Full-Brim Safety Helmet Offers Improved Head Protection for Those Working in Outdoor Environments

In pursuit of creating the safest and most technologically advanced industrial safety helmet, North American safety helmet innovator STUDSON 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) Z89.1 Type 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.

The new SHK-1 Full-Brim safety helmet is designed in conjunction with existing safety technology from the SHK-1 helmet model, including Koroyd welded tube polymer for absorbing impact. The Koroyd material also improves heat dissipation and venting via its cellular-structure design in comparison to traditional EPS foam which helps combat heat stress. The embedded twICEme technology digitally integrates a wearer’s vital health data within the helmet. In the event of an emergency, that data is accessible via a smartphone NFC chip reader viewable through an SMS text message or the twICEme app for iOS or Android devices.
