The high-density lining and extra-comfort- able harness ensure maximum protection even in the most dangerous environments such as mining, tunnel construction, demo- lition, construction, refineries, oil rigs, and maritime construction. The helmet com- plies with such strict standards for it has been designed to exceed resistance to forces stated in EN 397, three times over. The manager has used state-of-the-art technolo- gies and materials to offer genuine full pro- tection that means saving lives and avoid- ing serious injuries to the head and neck. The first in its class With MK8 Evolution, British manufactur- er JSP Ltd. launches the first hi-perfor- mance safety helmet meeting standards in the new EN 14052, in force since 2005. Known as EVO8 the helmet protects against shock and forces three times exceeding those in EN 397. So it is the first in its class to protect the head against side shock and serious vertical shock (on the crown of the helmet). Conceived to protect workers in the most aggressive environments, EVO8 epitomizes efficiency and comfort, meeting users’ demands while revealing high levels of acceptance. JSP’s research work results in the use of hi-density linings and a new strapping system. High performance industrial helmets pro- tect against shock that might cause brain damage, skull fracture, and injuries to the neck. “Some emergency services already use helmets complying with the new 14052 standard, but only JSP manufactures this industrial helmet meeting all requirements in this standard”, spokespersons at this British company making PPE explain. EVO8 is not the result of spontaneous gen- eration, but the successor of a long saga of industrial helmets of the very purest breed. The British company boasts over forty years’ expertise and history designing and making personal protective equipment, and it makes a full range of helmets (the most immediate precedent is the MK7, the leading model in Spain), head protection equipment and accessories (screens and eye protection), suitable for all types of industrial applications.
