News: ANSI/ISEA Z89.1-2026 introduces an important evolution in industrial head protection. The updated standard adds new Type I+ and Type II+ designations, with additional requirements around impact protection, chin straps and helmet retention. In our latest article, we look at what has changed, why it matters, and what safety professionals should consider when selecting head protection for real-world working environments.

NSC Safety Congress has come to an end, and we would like to thank all the visitors for the great conversations we had in Indianapolis. Our booth became the place to discuss the next generation of PPE through innovative materials designed to enhance the user experience. Additionally, our partner STUDSON unveiled the SHK2, their most advanced piece of head protection, designed to meet the rigorous demands of the industrial athlete, available later this year. If you haven't had the opportunity to visit us, don't hesitate to check out our website www.koroyd.com to discover our material technologies. National Safety Council

What if metatarsal protection was designed around the way the foot actually moves? Traditional solutions can often result in bulk and stiffness across the top of the foot. We’ve been rethinking that. Our latest development is engineered around foot anatomy, with separate left and right forms and strategically positioned flex zones. Now, we’re speaking to the best safety footwear brands to help shape what comes next. Step forward if you would like to be part of the movement. See it first at NSC - booth 1511. 9.14.2026

The science of how hands work is coming to the KOROYD innovation roadmap. We’re currently developing a new hand protection technology for industrial impact gloves, engineered around how working hands grip, flex, bend and move through repeated tasks. This is an advance preview of what's next. As an early adopter brand, you can still influence what's next in hand protection. Come and talk to us at NSC, booth 1511. 14-16 September 2026.

Has industrial helmet technology reached a turning point? Chris Ellerby, Director of Industrial Safety at KOROYD, talked to IHSJ to explore how innovation is reshaping the future of head protection.
"For more than one hundred years, the industrial safety helmet has evolved alongside the industries it serves. "From the canvas-and-resin 'Hard Boiled Hat' of the early twentieth century to today’s highly engineered protective systems, every generation has improved upon the last. Yet perhaps the greatest transformation is not technological. It is philosophical." --- In an exclusive article for IHSJ, Chris Ellerby, Director of Industrial Safety at KOROYD ponders if industrial helmet technology has reached a turning point. #PPE #headprotection #leadership #healthandsafety Read the full piece here: https://lnkd.in/esrmDpKF

The most protective knee guard is the one that you want to wear. New Product Development Manager, James Rogers, talks us through the guiding principles behind this human-centric solution. This is where the auxetic (interlinked) structure was born. Elongating in one direction and retaining its shape in the opposite direction. This allows the knee to move naturally throughout pedal cycles. #movementredefined

1362. That’s how many times the Endura MT500 full-face helmet was impacted for testing during development. The result? A downhill-certified helmet which is one of the lightest in its class at just 640 grams. #enduramt500
