CONTAMINANT Control Package
RedZone uses particulate blocking material and thoughtful design at PPE interface areas to reduce ingress of hazardous particulates that can be absorbed into the skin.
The ensemble performs consistently with existing turnout standards with no added heat stress or mobility restriction, and no change in donning or doffing.
NFPA 1971, 2018 Ed. calls for an optional standard for a Liquid and Particulate Contaminant Ensemble that consists of a face piece, hood, turnout gear, gloves and boots. To pass certification, a Fluorescent Aerosol Screening Test must be performed.
A FAST offers visualization of aerosol infiltration and deposition patterns as a means of detecting penetration points in protective clothing ensembles after a 30-minute exposure consisting of walking, bending, reaching, running in place, prone stance, etc. RedZone has received a passing result of the FAST to reduce the particulate ingress at key interfaces.
