Understanding Mips Science

Comprehending the Science within Mips 

Conceived by an engineer and a neuroscientist, the Mips® brain protection method for an industrial safety system is designed to enhance protection for industrial helmets. Specifically, during particular angled impacts, the Mips system is created to mitigate potentially harmful forces that might be directed towards the head otherwise.

Safety Helmets and Hard Hats Aren't All Created Equal

The Dissimilarity Lies Within:

Delicately engineered for a safety augmentation The Mips low-friction layer is designed to fit into industrial and construction helmets, effortlessly merging with the helmet without compromising on comfort or fit.

Selecting a Safety Helmet

Mips has collaborated with numerous leading safety helmet and PPE manufacturers to incorporate our patented low-friction layer safety mechanisms into construction helmets and hard hats.

• Rotation Control: Verify that the helmet incorporates a low-friction layer like the Mips® safety system, specifically devised to reduce rotational force to the head during certain angled impacts.
  
  
• Comfort and Suitability: Since helmets are worn over extended durations, comfort is key to ensuring consistent use throughout all work-related activities.
  
  
• Safety Certifications: While most consumer-available construction helmets are required to meet certain safety standards, it's wise to ensure that it complies with the most recent regulations pertaining to your specific profession.
  
  
• Brand and Design: The market offers a wide selection of construction helmets. Choose a helmet from a known and reliable brand that suits your style and fits well.

Prioritizing Safety - Enhance Head Protection

The intention is to enhance head protection by reducing injurious rotational movement triggered by an angled impact stemming from a worker fall or a fallen object strike. The Mips® safety systems, in the case of certain angled impacts, can decrease damaging forces that may be otherwise directed towards the head.

The helmet's inner low-friction layer permits a multi-directional movement ranging 10-15mm on specific angled impacts, aimed to decrease the head's rotational force.
