KOROYD in partnership with Caco America LLC, a GE brand licensee for personal protective equipment for the North, Central and South American continents, has announced the launch of the new GE branded GH400 Type 1 safety helmet. The GH400 utilizes KOROYD’s patented impact absorption with heat stress reduction, helping safeguard employee health and minimize injury risk caused by rising temperatures on the jobsite.
The first helmet to be engineered with KOROYD technology as the sole energy absorber, the GH400 absorbs impacts by crumpling consistently to reduce force transferred to the head.
The open cell structure of KOROYD, which is 95% air, also supports air circulation and evaporation of sweat vapor and liquid. KOROYD helps maintain cool body temperatures to prevent heat stress risks, while also reducing potential for short-term removal on the jobsite that can occur on warm days.
“We are thrilled about the launch of the KOROYD-equipped GH400 safety helmet,” said Chris Ellerby, director of industrial safety at KOROYD. “The design is a true first of its kind to use advanced KOROYD technology as the sole means of energy absorption. The lower profile and lightweight GH400 helmet provides superior safety without compromising comfort. The compact design improves stability and ease of use while preventing shortcutting of safety protocols.”
"Safety is our number one priority, and in partnering with KOROYD we have developed one of the most advanced and comfortable safety helmets in the market,” said Joel Abbo, CEO of Caco America LLC, a GE brand licensee of personal protection equipment products for the North, Central and South American continents.
