As a safety sales professional, it is our job at Keyline to educate and train our clients on the best possible solutions to mitigate their hazards. Born on the sports field, MIPS technology is now making its way to your construction site. I've included the top 5 benefits to using MIPs technology in your safety helmet and how it can decrease the severity of injury during a head trauma.
Benefits of Mips® Technology in PIP Safety Helmets
-
Reduces Rotational Force on the Brain
-
Most workplace head impacts aren’t perfectly straight-on; they come at an angle.
-
Mips (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) adds a low-friction layer inside the helmet that allows the shell to slide slightly upon impact.
-
This reduces the rotational motion transmitted to the brain, lowering the risk of concussion and other brain injuries.
-
-
Enhanced Protection Beyond Standards
-
Traditional helmets are tested for vertical impacts. Mips technology goes further, helping protect against angled impacts, which are more common on construction and industrial sites.
-
-
Comfort Without Compromise
-
The Mips layer is lightweight and designed to integrate seamlessly into the helmet’s suspension system.
-
Workers get extra protection without feeling added bulk or weight.
-
-
Peace of Mind for Employers and Workers
-
Incorporating Mips shows a commitment to cutting-edge safety.
-
Employers can demonstrate they’re going beyond minimum compliance to protect their crews.
-
-
Adapted from Proven Sports Technology
-
Mips is widely used in cycling, climbing, and snow helmets — environments where rotational impacts are frequent.
-
Bringing this technology to industrial safety helmets offers field-tested innovation to the workplace.
