The Science of Protection

Type 2 Safety Helmets for Modern Jobsites

Traditional hard hats were designed to protect against objects falling straight down. But real-world jobsite accidents rarely happen that way. Slips, trips, and falls often create angled impacts that generate dangerous rotational force.

What is rotational impact?
Rotational impact occurs when the head is struck at an angle, causing the brain to twist inside the skull. This type of motion is a leading cause of serious brain injuries on jobsites.

What is a Type 2 safety helmet?
A Type 2 safety helmet is designed to protect from impacts to the top, front, back, and sides of the head—providing more complete protection than traditional hard hats.

Advanced Helmet Technology

Built for Real-World Impact Protection

At TPR Industrial, we supply Type 2 safety helmets equipped with advanced technologies designed to reduce both direct and rotational impact forces.

What is the best safety helmet for construction?
The best safety helmets for construction are Type 2 helmets with advanced energy management systems like Mips® or Nuro, designed to reduce both direct and rotational impact forces.

These helmets are widely used in construction, utilities, electrical, and industrial environments where side and rotational impacts are a real-world risk—and are becoming the preferred choice for teams upgrading from traditional hard hats.

Not sure which to choose? Securis helmets feature Mips® technology, while Hardknock helmets use Nuro technology for advanced impact protection.
