What Head Protection does JSP provide?
JSP Safety Inc. (USA)
Leading manufacturer of Innovative PPE and Site, Facility Safety Products.
JSP Safety?Head Protection Products?have been designed to meet the requirements of the industrial hard hat standard. They offer protection not only at the defined test sites, but over a much larger area of the head for unrivaled levels of performance.
A 2016 study by the?National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)?found that “construction professionals sustained more traumatic brain injuries than employees at any other type of workplace in the United States.” Within this group, TBI (Traumatic Brain Injuries) represented one quarter of all workplace fatalities from 2003-2010, according to the authors of this study (Srinivas Konda, Hope M. Tiesman and Audrey A. Reichard), published in the American Journal of Industrial Medicine.
Hard hats are extremely effective at protecting workers from an object hitting them from above. The American National Standards Institutes' Z89.1-2014 guidance on industrial head protection thoroughly addresses this, however it does not address falling workers. When an employee falls or trips, their hard hat can come off before the time when it is needed most: on impact.
JSP offers items such as 4 point chin straps to keep head protection in place to high-density expanded polystyrene foam liner to protect from impact to the top, sides, front and back of the worker’s head, and webbing to distribute that force. At JSP, we are proactive about head protection and believe it should be a priority for everyone.?
Safety Helmets address the higher risks and hazards on today’s job sites. Falls from height, slips or trips can often result in a traditional hard hat getting knocked off before an impact or blow to the wearer’s head.?
Safety Helmets share their design origin with sports climbing and biking helmets, by adding a 4 point Chin Strap, Expanded Foam Liner offering front, back and side protection and reduced Brim length for increased visibility.

Hard hats are designed to protect the wearer’s head from injury due to falling objects, impacts and other hazards. Hard Hats are tested to meet and exceed the ANSI Z89.1?Type I?or?Type II?standard. Unlike most other hard hats, the wearer can attach a 4 point chin strap directly to the shell of any JSP Hard Hat.
