THREE EN14052 IS HERE TIMES THE PROTECTION HEAD PROTECTION HAS EVOLVED JSP were approached by several large construction companies and civil engineers directly and asked the question could we develop a ‘safer helmet’? Situations had occurred, even one where a linesman at a major civil engineer had received a side impact whilst working at height, which left the individual concussed and hanging from fall arrest requiring a rescue at height, something that is very difcult to carry out. The existence of the higher standard EN14052 told us that there was a requirement and a standard to which we could benchmark performance of both crown and side impacts. IMPACT PROTECTION OUTER SHELL Side, front and rear impact protection from the Shock absorbing EPS liner. Vented liner to increase comfort whilst maintaining high protection factor. Liner optimises low angle impact performance. Ultra high strength outer shell. Ribbed upper section dissipates impact energy. All Round Protection, down to 60° from vertical. Large print area on front & sides for logo printing. Extremely comfortable terylene webbing moulds to the individual wearer’s head. Lightweight EPS liner reduces weight while still offering maximum protection. The Mk Evolution 8™ is the only industrial safety helmet in the world meeting and exceeding the new far tougher head protection standard EN14052. The new EN14052 standard requires the helmet to withstand forces over 3 times the crown impact level of those in the old EN397 standard and for the rst time provide protection from side impacts to the same level as forces experienced on the crown impact test of EN397!!! It is the biggest step forward in head protection since the old British Standards came into force in the 1970’s which later formed into the EN397 standard. Whilst some helmets have been made much lighter with material effectively being taken out of areas away from the over-emphasised crown impact test area of EN397 so they are cheaper to manufacture, there is a resultant reduction in peripheral safety performance of such ‘lightweight’ EN397 helmets. EN14052 effectively deals with this issue as it is such a severe standard and far better suited to protecting against the real hazards of working on today’s sites as opposed to the old standard more suited to sites typical of the 1970’s. Modern sites are typically far more frenetic, with more equipment and machinery operating, with the peripheral dangers of swinging objects from cranes and the like, as well as in general being much higher rise meaning greater velocity and load masses of falling objects. International slot for rm tting of ear defenders. Pivotable side arms aid personnal t and comfort with stand off positioning to enable defenders to be removed from ears quickly. High perfomance Suret™ ear protection offers an SNR of 28. logoAdd your logo ™ EXPRESS to our products Like all JSP safety helmets, the Mk8 EVO™ can be branded with your corporate logo or company details. There is space for branding on the front, sides and back. Printed helmets can be delivered within seven working days from JSP’s receipt of approved artwork. ADJUSTMENT Intuitive thumb and fore nger press points for easy adjustment of the wheel ratchet, offers diverse size ranges for true ‘One Size Fits All’ SAFETY VISORS VENTILATION OPTION International slot enables rm tting of a range of ‘Suret™’ safety visors. Wide variety of visors available including, Acetate, Polycarbonate, Wire Gauze and GW5. Incorporates steel springs for easy deployment and retraction. Ventilation convects hot air out and draws in cool air, reducing helmet temperatures by an average 2-3 degrees. EN14052 Vs EN397 The EVO8™ Safety Helmet is tested from more than double the height of helmets that meet EN397. EN14052 also requires that the same helmet is tested twice, once on the crown and once on either, the left or right side, front or back. Together with the testing height of up to 2.5 metres, passing EN14052 means the Mk8 Evolution™ can take 3 times the impact of any other EN397 helmet on the market. However, the EVO8™ doesn’t just meet the new EN14052 standard, it exceeds it. No other safety helmet offers this level of protection. JSP has designed this product to save lives. If you are serious about safety, you will wear the JSP EVO8™. Helmet is hit once by a 3kg pointed striker from a height of 1 metre in a 50mm radius of the crown. The EVO8™ took two and half years of research and development. It was a considerable challenge to create the right design and to utilise the right materials that would meet the signicant performance level required. A huge amount of work around the design and testing of different materials has been carried out and we are extremely proud to be the only manufacturer that has managed to develop a helmet capable of passing EN14052. Helmet is hit twice, once in the crown area with a 1kg at bladed striker from 2.5 metres. The Helmet is then re-conditioned and the same weight is dropped from 2 metres onto the shell at any angle between 15° and 60° for Side Impact performance. HIGH IMPACT SIDE IMPACT Helmet is hit twice, once in an area within a 35mm radius of the crown with a 5kg weight from 2 metres. The Helmet is then re-conditioned and the weight is dropped from 1 metre onto the shell at any angle between 15° and 60° for Side Impact performance. Helmet is hit once directly onto the crown with a 5kg weight from 1 metre.

For more information tel: +44 (0) 1993 826050 visit: www.jsp.co.uk mail JSP at sales@jsp.co.uk Through painstaking research and development and through intensive testing and use of high tech materials we have nally launched a helmet that will inevitably save lives and dramatically reduce head injury. We expect that now this helmet is available many major construction companies who take safety seriously, will want to keep their employees safe by giving them the very best, highest level of protection, for the head that is the JSP EVO8™ helmet.
