Scott Safety also recently developed its 379bar cylinder. At 25% higher pressures than the current 300bar, the new cylinders offer significantly increased duration with minimal increases in size and weight of the SCBA. A key advantage of the new technology is that a cylinder the size of a typical 60 minute cylinder will now provide a duration of 75 minutes, providing users with a convenient method of utilising an extended duration breathing apparatus.
Also on show is Scott Safety’s FRR which is based on the successful design of Scott Safety’s General Service Respirator (GSR) for the military, currently used by the Ministry of Defence. The FRR is designed for use by first responders to CBRN incidents. It provides protection against chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear threats and is compatible with conventional round filters with a Din 40 thread, Powered Air Purifying Respirators (PAPR), SCBA and compressed air airline breathing systems.
The Eagle Attack thermal imaging camera delivers all the performance, quality and durability that firefighters demand. Its high resolution design provides users with great image quality and functionality not normally available in lightweight imagers. Developed for on-the-job reliability, durability and ease-of- use, the Eagle Attack imager is one of the lightest and most portable imagers in the industry.
The new First Base 3 Police bump cap range is a modern alternative to the police custodian or traffic officer hats and consists of three different styles for Search, Fire Arms and Road Policing. Each design incorporates baseball style bump protection that is designed to provide protection against lacerations and other superficial head injuries.
