A set of safety attachments for this protective helmet

This company recently released a series of safety accessories for its SHK-1 ANSI Z89.1 Type II safety helmets. The purpose-built accessories include a fleece skull cap (photo) for warmth, a telescoping headlamp for illumination and an earplug garage attachment. According to ANSI Z89.1-1969, “accessories” and “winter liners” must be specifically designed to be compatible with the protective properties of a helmet. Therefore, beanies and hoodies should not be used for cold weather protection under a safety helmet. This company’s Fleece Helmet Liner is designed to fit snugly under any version of the SHK-1 safety helmet. The headlamp is multifunctional and adaptable to various job site environments, ensuring superior visibility, the company says. The Earplug Garage provides a practical solution, keeping ear protection accessible and within reach. Designed to integrate with all of this company’s helmets, this earplug holder offers a secure, durable fit for various earplug types while maintaining a sleek and low-profile design. — Studson Inc., Sherwood, Ore.
