Husqvarna Designs a Serious Helmet for Construction Workers
The SmartGuard is no mere hardhat
As we've seen on this blog, helmets for cyclists, bikers, athletes, deaf athletes, soldiers and even military dogs get lots of design attention.
But helmets for the millions of construction workers out there in hardhat situations? Not so much. So Husqvarna is now stepping up with their SmartGuard helmet.
It's got a built-in flip-up visor and flip-up hearing protection, which we've seen variants of before, but it's also got a robust, removable face- and chin-guard. This is intended to "reduce the severity of injuries from blade contact if a kick-back occurs."
Here's a closer look at the features:

The helmets run $184.

Silica and dust are some of the biggest hazards in the workplace today. Not one manufacturer is making a Type 2 hard hat with integrated full face respiratory protection. Some PAPR respirators come with a Type 1 hard hat, but they lack the capabilities of integrated hearing protection. To the industrial designers out there: there is a market for this and no one is making it.
