Ergonium
Head protection for miners
Umea Institute of Design
ERGONIUM is the first helmet truly dedicated to mining, bringing a new standard to head protection and comfort for miners. The enhanced weight distribution reduces stress, load and fatigue for users who have to wear the helmet all day. The ergonomically layered design prevents work-related injuries and irreversible damages. The result reflects miners’ trends and expectations in an innovative combination of soft and hard materials.
JURY STATEMENTUNIVERSITYWINNER
"It's great to see a concept that is based on real user research. Moving the battery to the back of the helmet is a simple change, but makes a big difference for everyday users."
