Benefits of technology
The invention is a headgear platform that is designed to securely hold safety equipment on a user's head. The platform includes a retention system that can be adjusted for different users and can be easily put on and removed without needing a neck strap. The platform also has a universal system of anchors that allow for easy attachment of various accessories like a dust mask, visor, earmuffs, headlamp, and camera. The platform is comfortable, lightweight, and adjustable for different users and head sizes. Overall, the invention provides a versatile and secure way to wear safety equipment while working in various environments.
Problems solved by technology
Unfortunately, such safety equipment is often uncomfortable or difficult to use, making it less likely that such equipment will be used properly or at all.
Often, a variety of risks require use of a variety of safety equipment simultaneously.
Such circumstances often increase the chance that one or more piece of safety equipment will be misused or not used at all, whether intentionally or not.
Such circumstances also often decrease the comfort and effectiveness of one or more of the required pieces of safety equipment.
Furthermore, use of one piece of safety equipment often encumbers use of another piece of safety equipment and / or requires sequential installation and / or removal of such equipment.
Unfortunately, it is often difficult or impossible to monitor or record whether an individual has used proper equipment at all times. Consequently, it would be beneficial to have a system and method for monitoring an employee's use of safety equipment and comparing such use to other factors indicative of whether additional safety equipment should be used.
Unfortunately, many workers do not see the benefit of wearing safety equipment until someone fails to wear adequate safety equipment.
Even then, adverse effects from such failure are often not known until many years later.

A system for and method of providing safety equipment to a user is provided. The system includes a headgear platform that is configured to be secured to a head of a while supporting a plurality of safety accessories. Each safety accessory is configured to move independent of each of the other safety accessories so as to allow for quick and easy access and deployment of only the safety equipment that is required or otherwise desired for a particular job. When a particular safety accessory is no longer required or desired, it can be quickly and easily moved to a stowed configuration, thereby moving the safety accessory out of the user's way while maintaining it in close proximity for quick and easy redeployment when required or desired.
