You can have CBRN protection in less than 30 seconds with Avon Protection's compact single use emergency hood.
The new 15-minute NH15 escape hood from Avon Protection Systems, has been awarded full NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) Air Purifying Escape Respirator (APER) approval (number TC-14G-0302).
This is the world's smallest NIOSH-certified CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear) escape hood specifically designed for police, correction officers, emergency medical services and firefighters to offer instant CBRN protection. The hood provides a high level of respiratory, eye and face protection for up to 15 minutes allowing sufficient time to evacuate from a contaminated area. Use of the hood requires minimal training, taking approximately 30 seconds to deploy, thanks to the innovative self-adjusting harness system.
