In high-impact sports such as motorsport and cycling and industrial activities, safety standards play a critical role in ensuring personal protective equipment (PPE) provides effective protection. For body protectors, the EN/CE1621 standard is the benchmark across Europe and internationally.
At KOROYD, safety is about continuous innovation and driving standards across the industries we work in. This year at the National Safety Conference (NSC), we proudly showcased our full “head-to-toe” technology portfolio, from helmets, body protection, to gloves, highlighting our commitment to enhancing worker safety in the most challenging environments that emphasize human centric needs without sacrificing protection.
In response to escalating temperatures across the western USA, OSHA has unveiled comprehensive guidelines aimed at preventing heat-related incidents in workplaces. These new standards apply to various sectors, including general industry, construction, maritime, and agriculture, covering both outdoor and indoor environments. The guidelines emphasise the need for employers to develop detailed Heat Injury and Illness Prevention Plans (HIIPP), integrating site-specific measures to monitor and control heat hazards.
When products are designed for protection, they perform a crucial, potentially life-saving function. From helmets to car seats, protective gloves to paragliding harnesses, impact protection products are designed first and foremost to reduce the risk of injury and even fatalities. But next-generation products, developed with advanced impact technology, can take product design a step further, providing not only reduced risk of injury, but also an enhanced user experience.
Temperatures are dropping, but heat stress is still a top concern. In the aftermath of record-setting temperatures this past summer, including what’s been reported as the hottest July and September on record, it is imperative that worker safety is prioritized to address the risks of heat stress and offer solutions to minimize the occurrence on job sites.
KOROYD has a long heritage in the sports industry, not only advancing the standard of protective solutions for those who take their passions to new heights, but also developing human-centered designs that allow for a new level of performance. With KOROYD, you know you’re protected and your performance is accelerated, so go ahead–move with confidence.
Recent testing has shown KOROYD integrated industrial safety helmets have a significant heat index reduction. These helmets are poised to answer the demands of a warming world and protect workers by reducing heat stress risk.
