When it comes to safety equipment, it's not just about what a company claims - it's about what's been proven. At Defender Safety, we believe in transparency and that trust begins with real data. That's why its our #1 priority that every helmet we create is third-party tested.
WHAT EXACTLY IS THIRD-PARTY TESTING?
Third-party testing means sending safety gear to an independent, accredited lab - not affiliated with the manufacturer, to verify performance under strict, standardized conditions. These labs test for things like:
WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT?
Third-party confirms that your safety gear performs as intended - protecting lives when it matters most. Without it, there's no guarantee that your helmet will hold up in the field.
It helps verify the product meets regulated safety standards and delivers objective and transparent results.
DO ALL COMPANIES DO THIS TYPE OF TESTING?
It may surprise you, but not all safety gear on the market goes through independent testing. Some manufacturers rely only on internal checks leaving real performance unverified. Without third-party testing, there's no way to know if a product truly meets safety standards or if it will hold up in the field.
This gap puts both workers and businesses at risk, turning what should be a reliable protection into a dangerous unknown. That's why every Defender Safety helmet is third-party tested and proven to perform.
SAVING YOUR COMPANY THOUSANDS IN INSURANCE
By investing in Defender Safety, you're not only safeguarding your crew but you're also setting up your company for long-term financial savings on insurance premiums.
Upgrading to higher-quality helmets directly reduces job site injuries, which lowers a company's Workers' Compensation premiums over time. These premiums are largely based on the Experience Modification Rate (EMR) which is a score comparing your company's safety record to industry averages. Fewer incidents and claims improve your EMR (for example, from 1.1 to 0.9), signaling lower risk to insurers and cutting costs by 5-15%.
A strong safety record also means fewer claims paid, fewer lost workdays, and reduced liability exposure, improving bid eligibility and profitability. In short, safer workers lead to fewer claims, a better EMR, and lasting insurance savings.
Choosing Defender Safety's helmets isn't just about protection - it's a smart financial move.
WHY DEFENDER HELMETS ARE THE SMART CHOICE IN 2025
