Podcast
Overview
AC Helmets, pioneered by Jarsh Safety, are revolutionising industrial workplaces by addressing the critical issue of heat stress among workers. Co-founded by Kausthub Kaundinya, Jarsh Safety identified the need for a portable cooling solution in extreme temperatures. Traditional ventilation systems, designed for homes and offices, often fail in large factories, leaving workers vulnerable to heat-related risks. The innovative AC Helmet offers a wearable, battery-powered cooling system that mitigates heat stress, enhancing worker safety and productivity. This technology, designed without compressors or fluids, is light enough to be worn on the head, making it a groundbreaking solution in the industrial safety sector.
