RESPIRATORY PROTECTION AND HEADGEAR
Scott Safety will launch the Proflow 3 EX in its Safety Air Purifying portfolio. The only continuous powered air unit in the market to provide AX gas respiratory protection, it uses an optimised flow rate and highly functional filter configuration to
enable the efficient capture of AX gases. The use of the three filters equates to three times the average flow of a single APR canister used in an equivalent negative pressure situation, hence it lowers the respiratory breathing burden (or work of breathing) and provides increased comfort. Its explosion- proof features bring
unprecedented access to a variety of AX respiratory markets. Adding to its respiratory
protection range, Scott Safety is launching Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) that will provide the ultimate comfort, reliability and performance for those working in the emergency firefighting, marine and industrial sectors. The ProPak SCBA is a lightweight set that incorporates the proven technology found in Scott

Safety’s trusted SCBA products; offering the highest levels of protection whilst providing the wearer with ease of movement and comfort. In addition, Scott Safety will launch the recently developed 379bar high pressure cylinder. At 25% higher pressures than the current 300bar SCBA it offers a reduced profile or increased duration with options of up to 75 minutes. The Safety Helmet ratchet
headgear on display has been purpose designed with comfort, practicality and ease of use in mind. With its push and turn operation ensuring that loss of tension cannot occur, the new ratchet can also be easily adjusted with one hand.

BOHS SEMINARS FOCUS ON
WORKER HEALTH The UK has a safety record to be proud of and over recent years the number of workers dying as a result of accidents at work has been steadily decreasing – down to 148 deaths per year currently. How can we achieve the same
success for worker health with 13,000 people dying every year from occupational diseases – most of which are preventable? The Chartered Society for Worker
Health Protection and the learned and professional society representing occupational hygienists in the UK, BOHS strives to ensure that workers of today and tomorrow are being protected from hazards including asbestos, noise and dust which cause disease and death. At Safety & Health Expo BOHS will
bring together a range of occupational hygienists and other experts to talk on a variety of themes related to the protection of worker health at the BOHS Worker health protection arena sponsored by Shell. “We are looking forward to our presence at Safety & Health Expo this year especially as it our first time hosting the BOHS Chartered Worker Protection Arena,” says CEO Steve Perkins. “We encourage all exhibitors and visitors to learn more about how we can protect our workers from exposures in the workplace and about the crucial role of occupational hygiene in enabling employer s to do so.”
