020 - The Rise of Type 2 Helmets: What’s Behind the Shift in Head Protection?
Update: 2025-08-12
Description
In this episode of Radio Free Tenacity, we sit down with Nate Bohmbach, veteran PPE innovator and member of Ergodyne’s product team, to unpack the growing shift from traditional Type 1 hard hats to Type 2 safety helmets. Sparked by OSHA’s 2023 safety bulletin and their own internal transition, this trend has been gaining traction across high-risk worksites. We break down what’s driving the change, the resistance it’s facing on job sites, and how Ergodyne is designing Type 2 helmets that workers actually want to wear.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- The key differences between Type 1 and Type 2 helmets—and why Type 2 offers broader protection.
- The real-world impact data behind OSHA’s recommendations.
- How to overcome worker resistance and get buy-in for upgraded head protection.
