Altrad Teams Up with Leach’s to Boost Helmet Safety for Scaffolders

Altrad, one of the world’s leading industrial services providers, has collaborated with specialist supplier Leach’s to upgrade helmet safety for its scaffolding workforce.

The partnership has led to the development of a new high-specification helmet, designed to offer better protection, comfort and visibility on site.

The rollout follows months of design improvements, testing, and collaboration between Altrad’s Technical Authorities and Leach’s, the well-known UK-based firm with over 100 years of expertise in height safety.

Altrad, which employs more than 65,000 people globally and operates across 59 countries, first approached Leach’s in September 2023 seeking a better-styled helmet tailored to the needs of its scaffolding teams.

By May 2025, Leach’s had finalised a revamped design incorporating an upgraded chin strap, improved performance features, and a more modern look aligned with Altrad’s branding. The company worked directly with the helmet manufacturer to ensure the final product met strict safety standards.

Adrian Tennent, Global Sales Manager at Leach’s, said: “This is what it’s all about – identifying a problem and then finding a solution.

Leach’s was born with the ethos of making scaffolding safer, so this is where our passion lies. We feel very privileged to be part of such a rewarding and exciting project and thank Altrad for approaching and trusting us.”

The newly developed helmets have now been distributed to Altrad’s UK scaffolding workforce, with initial feedback reported to be extremely positive.

The move is part of Altrad’s broader commitment to safety and innovation across its global operations, and further cements Leach’s position as a trusted partner for height safety solutions worldwide.
