MIPS ACADEMY How MIPS works
HOW MIPS PROTECTS YOUR BRAIN
The MIPS brain protection system is designed to reduce strain to the brain.
The MIPS low friction layer adds protection for certain types of impacts.
A low friction layer allows a sliding motion of 10–15mm, in all directions, reducing rotational motion to the brain.

scenarios that are more likely to happen in high risk professions, and in particular, on construction sites. We’ll also be engaging with the UK’s most high- profile construction health and safety leaders, those who influence thought around health and safety. We want to focus discussions on accident statistics, head/ brain injuries, the effectiveness of standard hard hat technology and how it can be improved.
The 2019 Construction Statistics for Great Britain show 30 fatalities, the majority of which are falls from height and being struck by a moving, flying or falling object. Although the rate of self-reported

non-fatal injuries to workers shows a downward trend, 54,000 non-fatal injuries were still reported in 2019, so the need for greater protection is there. The sector represents around 7% of the workforce and a construction site has many scenarios that could result in a head injury, with multiple trades, contractors and sub-contractors often working alongside each other, the risks are often complex.
MIPS has the potential to transform personal safety in this sector by offering a safer head protection to all workers who take a high risk because of their occupation. Originally founded by a neurosurgeon and a scientist, MIPS solutions are patented and based on 25 years of research, testing, and development, together with the Royal Institute of Technology and the Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm, Sweden.
The company is already well known in sports helmets and popular among skiers and cyclists. There are currently over 14m helmets from over 100 helmet brands equipped with MIPS. In our free time, for example when cycling, riding or skiing, we place an enormous amount of importance on safe head protection. For people who take a higher risk at work, the best possible safety helmet should also be a priority. Protection against rotational motion should be as important for safety helmets as airbags and seatbelts are in cars.
