Head protection
10 March 2014
A study from Oxford University has found that head injuries triple the long-term risk of early death, emphasising the importance of adequate head protection in the workplace.

Any kind of brain injury has an impact on early mortality – defined in the study as before age 56 – and even relatively minor injuries such as concussion from falls made people twice as likely to die prematurely.
JSP's head protection range extends from products designed to protect against bumps and scrapes that exceed the requirements of EN812, to industrial head protection products that exceed the requirements of EN397. Helmets, such as the Mk8 Evolution, meet and exceed the tougher head protection standard EN14052 and are suitable for use in high-risk environments, or where added protection from falling or swinging objects is required.
