Understanding the risks around head injuries in construction

A new CM survey in association with helmet safety technology company Mips has revealed a lack of training and awareness around head injuries and their possible causes on construction sites.

The webinar will focus on the results of the CM survey, understanding the risks around head injuries in construction and their causes, the standard, preventing head injuries onsite and educating the supply chain, an industry perspective.

This webinar will cover:

• CM Research results and the need for a better understanding of head injuries/concussions etc and the industry standards; which ensure that hard hats can provide good absorption of linear impacts whereas some of the most common incidents on-site are slips, trips and falls which are more likely to cause a rotational injury. – Chris Tidy, Mips

• Hard hat technology - how Mips works – Olof Rylander, Mips

• As the UK’s leading supplier of safety clothing and equipment, Arco has kept pace with the demands of an increasingly sophisticated consumer, by educating the supply chain when it comes to understanding the risks. - Alex Turgoose, Arco
