Making of "EG - Personal head protection for the mining environment." EG is the first helmet dedicated to mining, bringing a new standard to head protection and comfort for miners. The ergonomic layered architecture and enhanced weight distribution reduces stress, load and fatigue for users carrying the helmet. For miners wearing the helmet all day, this design solution minimizes work-related injuries and prevents irreversible damages.
