Geo Grid Retaining Wall Systems Reinforces Safety with the H2-CH Helmet

GeoGrid Retaining Wall Systems has spent over 30 years mastering the science of stabilization—constructing mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls for some of California’s most challenging terrain. With walls reaching up to 50 feet high and job sites that demand constant movement at elevation, they know that job site safety isn’t just a box to check—it’s a structural necessity.

That’s why GeoGrid made the switch to the Defender Safety H2-CH Type 2 Class C Helmet—a helmet built for the kind of work where danger doesn’t just come from above.

Why the H2-CH Helmet Makes Sense for Retaining Wall Systems

Traditional hard hats offer limited top-only protection and are prone to slipping or falling off when bending, climbing, or moving quickly—common actions on a retaining wall job site. But the risks don’t stop at the crown of the head. When you’re working around elevated walls, scaffolding, or sloped terrain, potential hazards can come from the side, rear, or even unexpected angles.

✅ The H2-CH addresses these concerns directly with:
  • Type 2 impact protection – Shields not just the top, but also the sides and back of the head
  • Secure fit with chin strap – Keeps the helmet firmly in place when navigating steep grades or sudden movements
  • 360° ventilation – Keeps workers cool without compromising structure or coverage
  • Lightweight, low-profile design – Built for all-day comfort in dynamic environments

GeoGrid’s decision reflects their deep understanding of the job site—where the line between stable and unstable can change in seconds. And just as they design walls to withstand pressure from every direction, they’ve equipped their crew with head protection that does the same.

We’re proud to partner with an industry leader like GeoGrid, whose approach to safety is just as engineered and intentional as the structures they build.
