Product Information

When standing, the cervical spine compensates for the pressure, meaning that more force would be required in this case to suffer a fracture of the skull. A concussion occurs when the brain hits against the interior wall of the skull due to an impact – this could be the impact on the floor after a fall or an object impacting against the head. A person, too, can easily slip and fall and hit their head on solid ground due to the distractions and hazards in their environment. Since 1983, Ergodyne has pioneered the development of products that Make The Workplace A Betterplace.

hinffinity Safety Bump Cap Insert, Personal Protective

The anatomy of the head already takes this into account, with the skull acting as a natural protective helmet – but there is no fixed definition of how much the skull can withstand. Bump caps are designed for people working in spaces where they might bump their head against low obstacles, or perhaps when working in a location like a basement crawl space or an airplane baggage hold. But since these usually only concern the periosteum, they heal quickly and leave no further damage, other than a few scars. Even the smallest bolt or screwdriver can gain enough momentum to become a fatal projectile when falling from height. All-over venting maximizes airflow for cool comfort, while an interior foam pad reduces impact without absorbing odors for fresh all-day wear.And which is the right choice depends entirely on the situation and the types of hazards employees might encounter. The skull is made up of two parts: the neurocranium, which almost completely surrounds the brain, and the viscerocranium. A contusion of the skull, for example, does not involve a traumatic brain injury, because in this case the brain remains uninjured and no dysfunction occurs.
