STUDSON's SHK-1 Full-Brim ANSI Type II Safety Helmet was designed to prevent traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), featuring technologies to absorb impacts from fall-related injuries on jobsites.
This safety helmet complies with American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Z89.1 Type I and II safety standards, meaning it is designed to reduce force as a result of impacts to the front, back, sides and the top of the head. As of July 2025, the SHK-1 achieved dual certification under both Canadian CSA Standard Z94.1-15 (R2024) and American ANSI/ISEA Z89.1-2014 (R2019).

The new SHK-1 Full-Brim safety helmet is designed in conjunction with existing safety technology from the SHK-1 helmet model, including Koroyd welded tube polymer for absorbing impact. The Koroyd material also supports heat dissipation and venting via its cellular structure.
The embedded twICEme technology digitally integrates a wearer’s health data within the helmet. In the event of an emergency, that data is accessible via a smartphone NFC chip reader viewable through an SMS text message or the twICEme app for iOS or Android devices.
“With STUDSON’s mission to continue to advance helmet safety for the job site, it felt natural to accompany them on this journey,” said Chris Ellerby, director of industrial safety, Koroyd. “We are excited to innovate together through the integration of the world’s most advanced impact technology, Koroyd, providing unrivaled helmet breathability within an ultralight form factor for the STUDSON SHK-1 Full-Brim safety helmet.”
