In this edition of the NECA Safety Round Up Podcast, Wes Wheeler discusses the research and new technologies around the new construction helmets available today with Barry Miller, PhD., MBA, Director of Outreach and Business Development, Virgina Tech Helmet Lab. By researching the various manufacturers in the market today, they developed tests to see how each brand responded to various helmet impacts and now has released those findings for industry to review.  For more information on the research and testing, visit the Virginia Tech Helmet Ratings pages on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/company/virginia-tech-helmet-ratings/posts/?feedView=all
