迈向更安全工业头盔第31届全球ISSA建筑大会

韬略ERT与Atlas

In 2023, an estimated 564,000 workers across the EU were injured in a workplace fall.

Roughly 508 never recovered.

Falls are the leading cause of fatal accidents on construction sites worldwide, and the helmets workers have were not designed to truly protect them from fall injuries.

"We can do so much better," Strategic Sports Managing Director Norman Cheng said, addressing a room full of construction industry leaders at the ISSA Construction Conference in Limassol, Cyprus.

2023年，欧盟约有56.4万名工人在工作场所发生坠落事故,其中大约508人未能康复。 

跌落是全球建筑工地致命事故的主要原因，而工人们所佩戴的头盔并未真正起到保护他们免受坠落伤害的作用。 

“我们完全可以做得更好！”韬略董事长郑董在塞浦路斯利马索尔举行的ISSA建筑大会上，向一群建筑行业领袖表示。

That message, that the industry owes its workers more than what current helmet standards require, was the throughline of Cheng's presentation. Hosted by the International Section of the ISSA on Prevention in the Construction Industry, this year's conference carried the theme "From Risk to Resilience: Achieving Vision Zero with AI and Sustainable Construction," bringing together experts, researchers, and industry leaders from around the world to talk about the future of worker safety on construction sites.

这一信息——即行业应为工人提供超越当前头盔标准要求的保障——贯穿了郑董整个演讲过程，本届会议由国际建筑安全协会（ISSA）建筑行业预防分会主办，主题为“从风险到韧性：借助人工智能与可持续发展实现零事故愿景”，汇聚了来自全球的专家、研究人员和行业领袖，共同探讨施工现场工人安全的未来发展方向。

Cheng joined the Occupational Safety and Health breakout session to present on energy reducing technology in industrial helmets, and why the standard job site helmet needs to catch up with what we now understand about how falls actually happen.

郑董参加了职业安全与健康专题讨论会，就工业头盔中的节能技术进行了讲解，并阐述了为何标准作业现场头盔需要跟上我们对坠落事故实际发生机制的最新认知。

Why Current Standards…Fall Short为何现行标准……仍显不足

Most industrial helmets on job sites today are certified only to EN397, a static linear impact test that simulates a falling object striking the top of the helmet. The EN12492 standard adds lateral impacts, but very few helmets are designed to meet it. Cheng broke down the physics behind these tests using simple free-fall math: a one meter drop produces a strike speed of roughly 16 km/h, approximating a worker stumbling and falling, while a two meter drop produces about 22.5 km/h, representing a fall from elevation such as scaffolding. Those numbers anchor the standards to real job site scenarios, yet neither EN397 nor the rarer EN12492 simulates the rotational energy that such falls generate.

如今施工现场的大多数工业安全帽仅通过EN397认证，该标准是一种静态线性冲击测试，模拟物体从上方坠落撞击头盔顶部的情况；EN12492标准则增加了横向冲击测试，但很少有安全帽是为此标准设计的；郑董通过简单的自由落体公式解析了这些测试背后的物理原理：一米高度的下落速度约为每小时16公里，大致相当于工人绊倒跌落；而两米高度的下落速度约为每小时22.5公里，对应从脚手架等高处坠落的情况。这些数值使标准与真实施工场景相联系，但EN397和更少见的EN12492均未模拟此类坠落所产生旋转能量。

To Cheng, that gap is unacceptable. He said the EN397 Type 1 helmet, the most common helmet on construction sites today, is truly inadequate for the falls workers actually experience. Type 2 is better, he said, but still not enough. "We have a moral obligation to protect our workers. To do anything less is just wrong." He also pointed to a mismatch he sees across the industry: construction projects worth millions or even billions of dollars, often built by workers wearing ten dollar helmets.

对此，郑董表示，这种差距是不可接受的！他说，目前建筑工地最常用的EN397型头盔，实际上对高空作业人员所面临的坠落风险来说远远不够！他指出：Type 2头盔虽然更好一些，但仍不足够。“我们有保护工人的道德责任，做任何事都少于这个标准都是错误的。”他还提到，整个行业普遍存在一种不匹配现象：价值数百万甚至数十亿美元的建设项目，往往由戴十美元头盔的工人施工完成。

ERT: Built for Real World Industrial Impacts

ERT：专为真实工业应用而设计

This is the gap Cheng built ERT™ (Energy Reduction Technology) to close. ERT is a patented, 4mm layer of soft polymer foam that adds a layer of protection against brain injuries in both linear and rotational impacts. Cheng shared technical details about ERT and highlighted third party lab tests. On hand were the latest ERT equipped ACT helmets from Strategic Sports partner Atlas.

这是韬略开发的ERT™（能量减缓技术）所要填补的缺口；ERT是一种专利的4毫米厚软质聚合物泡沫层，可在直线冲击和旋转冲击时为头部提供额外保护；郑董分享了ERT的技术细节，并重点介绍了第三方实验室测试结果；现场还展示了由韬略合作伙伴Atlas提供的最新配备ERT技术的ACT头盔。

“Softer is smarter,” Cheng said, quoting the trademark slogan that tells the ERT story. "An impact happens in milliseconds and ERT responds instantaneously to mitigate the impact energy that’s transmitted to the brain,” Cheng said. On hand were the latest ERT equipped ACT helmets from Strategic Sports partner Atlas, along with key members of their staff.

“越软，越智能，”郑董引用了这一标志性的口号，讲述了ERT的故事。“冲击在毫秒内发生，而ERT能立即响应，以减轻传递到大脑的能量，”郑董说道。现场还展示了由韬略合作伙伴Atlas提供的最新款ERT装备ACT头盔，以及他们团队的几位关键成员。

Protecting Life: The Strategic Sports Mission Continues

守护生命：韬略使命持续进行中

Cheng left Cyprus with the same conviction he arrived with, deepened and sharpened by a room full of people working on the same problem from different angles. “These are powerful injury and fatality statistics,” Cheng said, “But if you’re a family member of one of the people who died, it’s not a statistic, it’s a tragedy.”

“And this is why we must be on a mission,” Cheng said. “We can push for more rigorous certification tests for the future. But we have the technology to make better helmets and save lives in the industrial space right now, and with Atlas, we already are,” Cheng said.

郑董带着与他到来时相同的信念离开了塞浦路斯，而这一信念在一群从不同角度研究同一问题的人聚集的房间里得到了深化和强化“这些是令人震惊的伤亡数据，”郑董说，“如果你是其中一位遇难者家属，那它就不再只是统计数据，而是悲剧。”

“正因如此，我们必须肩负起使命，”郑董接着说，“我们可以推动未来更严格的认证测试。但我们目前已有技术制造出更优质的头盔，在工业领域挽救生命；而有了Atlas，我们已经做到了。”
