ADVERTORIAL The Total CBRN System T
he depth of capability required for the design and manufacture of specialist protective CBRN equipment has increased significantly
as the modern world has advanced. Although respiratory protection has progressed considerably, the choice between filtered or supplied air remains one of the largest threats of operating in unpredictable hazards and oſten results in being caught short, having to retreat. Before entering a potentially
hazardous zone, an operative will determine equipment require- ments. They may only have an indication of the level of risk they face aſter entry but they are forced to make a judgement between air purifying respira- tory protection (APR) and Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA). This one decision will affect the ability to complete the task and if a wrong decision is made, it might result in a mission being abandoned, or in the worst possible cases a wrong decision could be a fatal decision. Complete versatility is essential
combination breathing systems are able to fill this gap providing seamless transition between APR and SCBA, without compromising on protection for the unpredictable hazards encountered in the field of counter terror operations. Avon’s revolutionary ST53 multi-role Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE)
and communication systems is optimised in a system that minimises the physiological burden on the wearer. Using Avon’s leading FM53 mask,
Avon’s expanding global customer base includes military forces,
civil and first line defence troops, emergency service teams and industrial, marine, mineral and oil extraction site personnel.
