Designed for construction job sites, Exo is a system of safety products that takes the guess work out of protection. The collection consists of a hardhat, earmuffs, and respirator – each with a significant safety benefit.
The responsive hard hat is equipped with sensors to monitor heat and exertion levels and prevent dehydration or overexertion that can lead to further injury. The adaptive hearing protector offers noise-cancelling with an assisted cloud-connected companion app to identify and mitigate noises commonly associated with specific types of work. The assistive respirator is designed to help navigate the complexity of protective filters and ensure effective use with alerts for filter replacement and proper sealing.
Designers: Adrian Taylor & Engin Hassamanci
