The basic concept behind Guardio is protective equipment for the construction and industrial sectors that makes a difference and has been developed through science and innovation. In principle, this means two things: we want to ensure that the products contribute to safer work and that users have the ability to comfortably perform at their absolute best, even during long shifts – protecting your most important tool, your head, should be not just a matter of course but also comfortable.
Background
There are problems in the construction and industrial sectors – frequent knocks to the head and harmful noise. Guardio wants to solve these problems through leading research, science and innovation – and based on these principles, elevate safety to a new level with hearing protection, safety glasses and safety helmets, all designed for comfort and incorporating components from market leaders.
Traditionally, industrial safety helmets are solely created to handle direct impacts. However, research shows that in the construction and industrial sectors, many impacts are actually angled: A tool striking from the side, or a person falling in an unconventional way. In addition, people in the construction and industrial sectors are at greater risk of brain damage than in other industries, according to figures from German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV). In light of this, we have created the Guardio brand and the Armet range, an innovative safety helmet equipped with the MIPS safety system.
The world’s first safety helmet with the MIPS safety system
Improving safety and comfort at the same time is a huge challenge – but the Armet range, which is the world’s first safety helmet equipped with the MIPS safety systems, is, according to many, the most comfortable safety helmet on the market. The MIPS safety system is designed to help reduce the rotational motion of the head that occurs during certain impacts, thus reducing brain damage. MIPS was developed with the help of Swedish researchers at Karolinska Institutet and KTH Royal Institute of Technology.
Equipped with TwICEme – easy access to vital information in times of crisis
Innovation and science are what guide us. The goal was therefore to invest in technology and solutions and to combine them seamlessly in a way that results in the next generation of safety helmets. That’s how we finally came up with TwICEme, a digital tool integrated into the safety helmet. TwICEme enables you to easily access vital information in emergencies: next-of-kin, allergies, medications and more are all available by scanning the helmet with a smartphone.
Durable material with a long service life
Our engineers at Guardio have more than 20 years of experience in personal protective equipment. To ensure that we use the best materials, we have an active partnership with leading suppliers. It is important to us that we use materials with properties that not only offer excellent protection – but that are also durable and retain their quality for an extended period of time.
Focus on comfort and ease of use
Our products are designed to ensure ultimate comfort and ease of use, while taking safety to a new level. It should be easy to protect the head, so science and innovation permeate our entire range: our hearing protection is the only range of products on the market that offers the flexibility to switch easily between headband and helmet mount; our headlamp is the first to solve the challenge of wearing a helmet and visor at the same time; and our glasses are designed to fit comfortably alongside a helmet while being thin enough to minimize the risk of leakage and noise.
Hearing protection designed for professionals
Our hearing protection, which we call the Freebird range, was created through collaboration with several of the world’s leading component manufacturers. All our hearing protection is equipped with 2-in-1: flexible mounts that can be used with a headband or on a helmet.
