Safety first. Broom second. 🧹

This witch knows what it takes to get home safe:
✔️ Head protection
✔️ Eye protection
✔️ High-visibility apparel for those after-dark flights
✔️ Fall protection, always tied off

Happy Halloween from all of us at ISEA.

Whatever your workday looks like, the right PPE makes sure everyone gets home safe. 🎃

Workplace first aid has changed. Is your organization ready?

Join ISEA and the National Safety Council on October 27 for an introduction to ANSI/ISEA Z308.1-2026, the newly revised standard for workplace first aid kits and supplies.

Learn what’s changed, why it matters and how to strengthen first aid preparedness across your workplace — including new and expanded guidance around:

➕ Bilingual first aid guidance
➕ Naloxone
➕ Tourniquet selection and application
➕ Mobile and remote workers
➕ Worker training
➕ Supplemental first aid supplies

Faster access to the right supplies — and knowing how to use them — can save lives.

⛑️ A helmet can only protect a worker if it stays in place.

The new ANSI/ISEA Z89.1-2026 Standard places greater emphasis on retention, expanded impact protection, and modern jobsite hazards.

❌ Head protection that shifts or comes off
❌ Selection based only on traditional hazards
✅ Better retention and broader protection

Current compliant helmets remain acceptable, but the new standard signals where head protection is heading.

Most companies will approach this update the wrong way.

They will update supplies and stop there.

❌ Compliance without readiness
❌ Supplies without training
✅ Systems that work in real emergencies

Emergencies do not test what you have.
They test how fast your team can act.

ANSI/ISEA Z308.1-2026 is not just about what is in your kit.
It is about whether your response actually works.

⚠️ Not all head protection performs the same way.

ANSI/ISEA Z89.1-2026 introduces new Type I+ and Type II+ designations to help safety professionals identify higher levels of performance.

❌ Selection based only on basic compliance
❌ Limited attention to helmet retention
✅ Protection based on real jobsite hazards

The “+” reflects stronger retention, chin strap requirements, and expanded impact protection.

Workplace safety was built for fixed locations.
The workforce is not.

Field teams, drivers, technicians, and remote employees often operate without consistent support.

❌ Limited access to supplies
❌ Limited response protocols
✅ Guidance built for how people actually work

Z308.1 closes that gap.

Because safety should not depend on proximity to a wall kit.

🚨 Head protection standards are changing.

The updated ANSI/ISEA Z89.1-2026 standard reflects the way head protection is designed and used in the field today.

❌ Protection focused only on the top of the head
❌ Helmets that may come off during an incident
✅ Expanded impact protection and improved retention

New Type I+ and Type II+ designations help identify higher-performance protection for more dynamic jobsite hazards.

Naloxone is now part of workplace safety. That is not a trend. It is a response.

Overdose emergencies are happening in workplaces across industries.
Nearly 1 in 10 workplace deaths are connected to them.

❌ No access in critical moments
❌ Untrained response
✅ Prepared teams with the right tools

Adding naloxone is one step.
Making it accessible and usable is what saves lives.
