Studson’s SHK-1 Safety Helmet Uses Innovative Tech To Keep Your Head Safe

There’s a reason why hard hats and safety helmets are a requirement on most jobsites. Keeping your head protected from impact is one of the most important things you can do to reduce injury. We’re taking a look at the Studson SHK-1 Safety Helmet to see how the brand incorporated some innovative technology to protect tradesmen on the job.

STUDSON SAFETY HELMET SHK-1: THE BIG DEAL

Studson designed this safety helmet for use by industrial tradesmen. Safety helmets, as opposed to standard hard hats, provide better head protection and offer more safety features. The SHK-1 safety helmet holds an ANSI Z89.1-2014 rating and is certified Type II to withstand impacts from all sides.

Studson included several pieces of safety technology to provide tradesmen with head protection with the SHK-1. First, it has Koroyd welded tubes that absorb force by crumpling on impact, protecting the skull and brain from direct and angled impacts. We’ve seen similar technology in safety hats like the WaveCel T2+ Max hard hat.

The SHK-1 safety helmet also employs Brainshield by Shield-X technology. This replaceable helmet pad system reduces the twisting and compression of the brain during impact, minimizing the risk of concussion.

Lastly, you can store data like your emergency contacts and medical information using the twICEme integrated chip. First responders can then scan this chip to access your information in the event of an on-the-job accident to treat you quickly when time is of the essence.

Additional Features

• Class C vented design
