Description:MK8 Evolution Safety Helmet by JSP
3X STRONGER THAN ANY OTHER INDUSTRIAL SAFETY HELMET IN THE WORLD
HEAD PROTECTION HAS EVOLVED
The Mk8 Evolution™ 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 first 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.
