PEOPLE First

We put the safety, growth, and well-being of our teammates and partners first – every decision, every day.  Our commitment to People First drives safety innovation in our project environments. We have transitioned to Type 2 hard hats to offer unparalleled protection, ensuring that every worker is shielded from impacts originating from above, the sides, front, and rear.

Life Saving Features:

Enhanced Padding: Experience superior comfort with our upgraded padding designed for prolonged wear.

  • Secure Fit: Integrated chin straps guarantee that your helmet remains securely in place, especially in high-altitude situations where stability is paramount.
  • Impact Resistance: Our hard hats are specifically engineered to withstand incidents involving falling objects or side collisions, offering peace of mind in any work setting.
  • Ventilation: Improved airflow helps to mitigate heat buildup, keeping you cool during demanding tasks.
  • 360-Degree Impact Protection: Each hard hat is crafted with innovative inner foam liners that absorb shocks from any direction. This vital feature shields against various hazards such as falling debris, side impacts, or machinery-related accidents.
  • Secure Retention System: Equipped with reliable chin straps, our hard hats ensure that the helmet remains firmly on the user’s head, minimizing the risk of injury during falls, sudden movements, or multiple impacts.
  • Optimized Fit & Stability: Each hard hat utilizes a specialized suspension system, providing an adjustable fit that enhances comfort and stability throughout long work hours, reducing strain on the wearer.
  • Advanced Safety Features: Our STUDSON SHK-1 safety helmets incorporate Twiceme Technology, which embeds a chip to securely store essential medical and emergency contact information. In case of an emergency where the worker is incapacitated, responders can quickly access vital information using a smartphone, significantly improving our emergency response capabilities.

As we continue to enhance our safety protocols, we remain dedicated to protecting our most valuable asset—our workforce”. Jason Jackowitz, Director of Safety
