WORKPLACE SAFETY
everything else. If something happens to that, then there may be serious implications including anything from brain injury to death. Across the industry, we must continue to analyse and question statistics so that we can challenge use data to inform product development and address the issues that have the biggest impact on wearer safety. As an industry, we must not be willing to just
adhere to the standards set out: we have to continually innovate, think outside the box and push ourselves to go above and beyond. Our priority must always be to ensure wearers are getting the maximum possible protection. This is where technology like the ground-
breaking Mips Elevate cradle solution comes in. Swedish-based helmet safety technology company, Mips, has spent the last 25 years researching and developing its low-friction Multi-directional Impact Protection System technology, which is designed to allow the head 10-15 mm relative motion in all directions inside the helmet. This can redirect harmful rotational motion that would otherwise be transferred to the head, potentially causing traumatic brain injury. The Mips safety technology is already
relatively commonplace in the sports market but until now, has not been seen in an industrial safety helmet. The newly designed Mips Elevate cradle solution has made this a reality.
LAYERING UP THE PROTECTION Ensuring maximum protection for the wearer has always been the top priority at Centurion Safety Products, and the company is constantly striving to find ways to go above and beyond conforming to industry standards. Centurion’s latest product, the Nexus Extreme Mips, was born from this passion for innovation. It is the first industrial safety
helmet to offer a unique four- layer protection system, incorporating a pure-grade ABS shell, an EPS liner, a cradle, and finally the Mips Elevate Multi- directional Impact Protection System. By introducing this patented low-friction layer to the cradle, we can reduce rotational motion transferred to the brain from angled impacts to the head. Working in partnership with Mips
to bring the Nexus Extreme Mips to market is the latest step for Centurion in its commitment to ensuring its safety products are always market-leading. The risks associated with injuries caused by rotational impact need to be more widely understood across the safety market, and it is exciting to be at the forefront of bringing that message to industry.
