Featured Event: World of Concrete, Las Vegas.

Last week, Joe Brandel participated in World of Concrete in Las Vegas, where our partner brands ERB a Delta Plus Group Company, LIFT Safety, and Securis Protective Gear showed off new helmets equipped with the Mips? safety system. It was great seeing such good interest in these helmets and partners! It was a busy show with lots of good conversations about rotational motion, helmet safety, the different helmet types and applications, and the role of TBIs in the industry.

We're glad that the risks that rotational motion poses to workers are getting more topical, and we encourage such conversations at every worksite.

A head injury is any injury to your brain, skull, or scalp. ?? ???????????????????? ???? ?? ???????? ???? ?????????????????? ?????????? ????????????, or TBI, caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or a hit to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth, which can cause your head to be exposed to something called rotational motion."
