MANUFACTURING FOR SAFETY
Established in 1964, JSP is Europe’s leading independent manufacturer of industrial
head protection and above the neck Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
W
ith a strong commitment to safety innovation,
JSP is backed by an in–house Research &
Development team with manufacturing and
testing bases in Oxford, England. Every JSP product
conforms to appropriate British, European, American and
International performance specifications, and testing is
conducted in an extensive BS EN IS0 9001 registered test
laboratory.
JSP’s products are manufactured under its worldwide
QMS (Quality Management System) that ensures proper
batch control (testing and recording of each manufactured
batch) and includes full technical backup and support.
Exporting to over 100 countries, JSP adapts to modern
and multi-national end-users. An estimated 40 million
people worldwide use JSP products daily, at home and at
work.
The company’s above the neck PPE can be made to
measure using corporate logos and colour schemes on
safety helmets, hearing protection and safety eyewear.
JSP was the first ever company to be awarded the BSI
Kitemark™ Certification for respiratory protective products
across a number of different product standards. Kitemark™
is one of the most recognised global symbols of quality,
integrity and safety, and demonstrates beyond doubt
that JSP’s PPE meets the required standards. Kitemark™
Certification also has been granted for JSP’s range of head
protection products, and more recently, for its new range
of ear defenders.
This year, JSP received a Gold Award from the Supply
Chain Sustainability School - a virtual learning environment
that aims to help construction suppliers and subcontractors develop their sustainability knowledge and
competence. The company achieved this award through
significant investment, including solar PV installation in
2014. On average, one in three JSP safety helmets are made
by the sun, and on a very sunny day, 100% of its safety
helmets can be manufactured using renewable energy.
To ensure a safer, more sustainable future, JSP adopts
a no-waste policy on site and is continually improving the
methodologies used during manufacturing processes.
