JSP is Europe's leading independent manufacturer of "above the neck" Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and acknowledged leader in industrial head protection. JSP's mission is to develop quality, innovative safety products that help improve occupational safety and health worldwide. By developing products that exceed latest performance requirements whilst also improving comfort and wearer acceptance, JSP enables an estimated 40 million people worldwide to protect themselves daily in their lives and workplaces. Established in 1964 with its headquarters in Oxford, England, JSP manufactures on three continents currently exporting to over 90 countries. The UK remains a core manufacturing centre where the latest lean and automated techniques are utilised. Research and development is also based in Oxford where the highest levels of investment are maintained to continue a pipeline of proprietary innovation with annual targets. Every JSP product is manufactured to conform to appropriate European, US and International performance specifications with testing carried out in our extensive BS EN IS09002 registered test laboratories. Our technical helpline and website provide a wealth of experience and information to help end users choose how to protect themselves against different applications. The new patented Filterspec which has won the 2011 Frost and Sullivan North America Product Innovation Award is such a case. Not only was it logical to integrate eye and respiratory protection into one harmonised unit, but also to enable protection in extreme environments. At -40 degrees Celsius, moisture emitting onto eyewear freezes immediately so a solution to eliminate mask leakage was needed. Filterspec’s integrated approach also enables a much improved face fit. This assists companies that must face fit test their employees with respiratory protective equipment as required now by the Health and Safety Executive.

The risk of exposure to the Oak Processionary Moth (OPM) is at its highest from April to July. Its tiny, irritating hairs can cause skin, eye and throat reactions, and for those working near oak trees, the risk is far more than a chance encounter.

April is Stress Awareness Month, and this year's theme is .

Industries like construction, manufacturing, forestry, the conversation around worker wellbeing has never been more important.

According to the Health and Safety Executive 964,000 workers reported stress, depression or anxiety caused or made worse by their work in 2024/25. Additionally, stress, anxiety and depression now account for more than half of all work-related ill health cases in Great Britain.

For workers in physically demanding, high-pressure environments, stress is not always easy to talk about. The culture of many industries has historically made it harder, not easier, to say when something is wrong.

We’re seeing this stigma change, and Stress Awareness Month is a reminder that those of us working in have a role to play in that shift. Not just in protecting people physically, but in helping to build workplaces where the full picture of worker wellbeing is taken seriously.

If you are an H&S professional or site manager, this month is a good time to check in with your teams, revisit your stress risk assessments, and ensure the people in your care know support is available.

Today is World Head Injury Awareness Day.

In the workplace, head protection is one of the most visible and most critical lines of defence. This day reminds us of the role we can all play in helping to reduce accidents and prevent brain injuries in reducing accidents and brain injuries. According to HSE in 2024/25, being struck by a moving object was one of the three accident types accounting for 60% of all fatal workplace injuries in Great Britain.

It is also a timely moment to consider how the standards that govern that protection are evolving. EN 397:2025 represents the most significant update to industrial protective helmet specifications in 30 years, and understanding what has changed is an important step for anyone responsible for PPE selection.

The most notable update is the introduction of two defined helmet types. Type 1 helmets provide on-crown protection, while Type 2 helmets extend that to absorb impact energy across the top, sides, front and rear. For H&S managers and specifiers, this distinction matters. EN 397:2025 places greater emphasis on assessing risk when choosing head protection, so a single helmet can no longer be assumed suitable for all tasks or working conditions.

For those reviewing their head protection specifications, JSP's EVO® ALTA® range is worth understanding. The EVO® ALTA™ provides all-around impact protection with top, side, front and rear shock absorption performance, and is designed with an extended nape section to offer greater neck coverage. It is built with an EPP liner, a 4-point chinstrap, and is engineered for accessory compatibility across a range of applications.

Have you ever wondered what happened to your helmets at end of life?

We are committed to reducing waste, increasing material recovery, and building circularity into the PPE used by workers around the world. This Global Recycling Day Recycling Day, we’re proud to highlight the work happening across JSP.

For us, sustainability begins at the design stage. We engineer our head, eye, hearing, and respiratory protection products using materials selected for their recyclability, making it easier for our customers to return, reprocess and repurpose products at the end of their working life. We also design our PPE to be durable, long‑lasting and resilient, helping reduce the volume of products entering the waste stream in the first place.

To further support circular practices, JSP works in partnership with Circularity Direct and Reconomy Connect. These partnerships help ensure that used PPE can be collected and processed through approved, sustainable pathways, keeping valuable materials in circulation and out of landfill. Circulatory Direct (previously, National Hard Hat Recycling Scheme) allows our customers to pay as you throw, you only pay for the number of helmets you need to recycle.

As industries place greater focus on environmental responsibility, we remain committed to creating PPE that protects not only people but the planet, too.

British Safety Industry Federation (BSIF) recent white paper on combatting substandard PPE on the UK marketplace makes one thing unmistakably clear: too much PPE still reaches the market without complete, accurate, or accessible user instructions. When workers don’t receive proper guidance on fitting, maintenance, limitations or safe use, even compliant equipment can fail to protect. And that puts people at real risk.

Every JSP product is supplied with complete, clear and fully compliant user instructions, because we recognise that information is as vital as the equipment itself. But we also include QR codes linking to JSP-GO™, our site, ensuring users, safety managers, and distributors have instant access to accurate, always-up-to-date product information. Digital instructions, fitting guidance, maintenance advice, compatibility details and safety information are all in one place.

JSP-GO™ includes graphics and diagrams that break down each step of safe use. These visuals are designed to remove ambiguity and give workers clarity on fitting. Features and performance levels are made easy to understand with icons on the product packaging linking to detailed descriptions on the JSP-GO™ website.

Alongside clear graphics, JSP-GO™ includes our fitting and usage videos, which are created intentionally without voiceovers or text, allowing for clear guidance and usage and removing all language barriers.

JSP-GO™ is built on the belief that safety information should be as accessible as the products themselves. By giving every user the tools to understand their equipment clearly and independently, we help create safer worksites, stronger compliance and greater confidence.
