HSE (OSHA) Product Review


Following a six month review of the Safetyhood technical and test data and its component capabilities the HSE and HSL (OSHA in USA )  stated;

"The SafetyHood  provides basic emergency escape protection only  agaianst CBR chemical biological radiological agents, smoke and its components" and  "the filtration capability is 99.99999% to .027 micron".

News

The UK police force recently ordered several thousand escape hoods and safety face masks to protect officers in their escape from CBR type incidents. This is in compliance with employers resposibilities and corporate duty. It also means that the travelling public should consider their own safety and recognise the value of escape  hoods when no other protection is available or likely.

Two different safety hoods and safety face masks - Safetyhood and Biohood 100TM -  both small enough to carry in a pocket!

Biohood100 "swine flu" 

The possibility of flu pandemic, SARS and Swine or other emerging or developing disease requires adequate PPE personl protective equipement. The usually accepted PPE mask or respirator of FFP3 or N95 provided adequate protection against some bacteria but recently published studies found that during the SARS epidemic of 2003 that all health care professionals wearing these respirators  and exposed to SARS caught it (see Downloads) All masks and respirators leak when the mouth, jaw or facial muscles or neck  move and this causes inward leakage, by passing the filtration. Flu can also be contracted through the eyes and these must be protected. The Biohood100 removes this leakage factor and provides total protection to eyes, ears, mouth and nose, sealing around the neck it prevents the acknowledged leakage factors it ensures the air you breath has been filtered. 

Protects eyes, nose and  mouth   seals around the neck, The filter has an exhaust valve to reduce breathing resistance.

Safetyhood  

The threat of bio-terroism and CBR chemical biological radiological agents has been declared to be with us for 30 years. The safety hood was designed to protect the citizen and provides escape protection against terrorist CBR agents smoke and dust. Fitted with a multiple filter and sealing around the neck it provides better protection than a respirator although for only 20 to 30 minutes. This should be enough time to escape through the contaminate.

Thinking of getting protection? Neck sealing Hoods provide better protection than any mask or respirator but you should buy now as stocks always run out in times of heightened awareness.

Although death may be unlikely, chronic health effects may result from exposure to contaminates.  Escape routes may often be through contamination such as smoke, asbestos, or CBR agents.The safetyhood provides emergency escape protection wherever you are with the low cost pocket respirator.
