At Haskell, we're taking a significant step forward in worker safety by outfitting our craft workforce with WaveCel’s T2+ hard hats. This cutting-edge technology, recognized by TIME Magazine as one of “The Best Inventions of 2020,” offers superior protection against traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) compared to standard helmets.
WaveCel’s unique design absorbs and reduces rotational forces from impacts, a crucial feature given that most TBIs in construction result from front, back, and side impacts. Traditional hard hats, unchanged for over 50 years, only protect against top impacts. WaveCel addresses this gap with its innovative mesh structure that forms a protective dome around the head.
This initiative is part of our commitment to ensuring the highest safety standards for our team. By January 2024, we will have distributed over 550 WaveCel helmets, with plans to extend this protection to our contract partners.
At Haskell, we believe in safeguarding our most valuable asset - our workforce. Ensuring their well-being is at the heart of our safety values, allowing them to return home safely every day and enjoy a quality of life we all cherish.
