Ergodyne's Head Protection Expansion Goes Beyond Hard Hat Zones
2024年8月1日 - 2:30AM
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that head injuries result in
thousands of lost workdays each year. However, the solution isn't
as simple as always wearing a hard hat.
The latest expansion of head protection options from safety work
gear manufacturer Ergodyne looks to protect workers not only in
traditional hard hat zones, but also those in industries like
manufacturing, warehousing and transportation, where crews often
find themselves maneuvering in tight spaces without head
protection.
"Transportation and warehousing make up about 9% of head
injuries resulting in at least one day off of work," says Justin
Schuetz, Product Manager, Ergodyne. Schuetz leads the development
and testing of the company's head protection solutions. "Those
folks are likely not wearing hard hats... nor would hard hats
always be appropriate for them, really."
Head injuries in the workplace are often categorized into two
main types: worker-generated impacts and object-generated
impacts.
Worker-Generated Impacts: These occur when a worker accidentally
hits their head against a stationary object, such as low-hanging
pipes or equipment. For these types of injuries, Ergodyne's new
8951 (Vented) and 8952 (Non-Vented) Hard Shell Bump Caps provide
lightweight, comfortable protection from bumps, cuts and scrapes.
Available in five colors, these caps are ideal for environments
such as food processing facilities due to their easy-clean
hard-shell design.
"Bump caps are less obtrusive, offering lightweight protection
in environments where hard hats can be cumbersome," says
Schuetz.
Object-Generated Impacts: These injuries occur when objects fall
or are dropped onto a worker’s head. Ergodyne's recent expansion of
its Type 2 Safety Helmets are specifically designed to provide
robust protection against such hazards, including side impacts
where traditional Type 1 hard hats fall short. Ergodyne's recent
introduction of new color options for its Type 2 Safety Helmets
also aids in better visibility and role identification on job
sites.
For those working in hard hat zones, visibility is often key.
Ergodyne's new 8961 Reflective Hard Hat + Safety Helmet Sticker
Kits, available in six color options, allow workers to customize
their gear for better visibility and role identification.
“We’re excited to bring these new products to market,” added
Schuetz. “By offering a wider range of options, we’re helping to
ensure that workers are not only protected but also comfortable and
visible in their roles.”
