Refinements Will Speed Casualty Decontamination
Two refinements to standard decontamination equipment designed to speed the decontamination of casualties up are announced by Professional Protection Systems.
Suppliers of the NHS standard decontamination shower as well as of mass-decon facilities to HM Government equipment PPS also supply similar equipment to emergency services all over the world. These two new developments are the direct result of consultation with these users of PPS equipment.
The first development is an automatic dosing system (ADS) for use in the decontamination facility that delivers a controlled amount of detergent to the water system to allow a thorough decontamination of casualties. The second is a casualty movement control system (CMCS). This offers an automated system of dealing with contaminated personnel and can be used in conjunction with the ADS.

Surge In Training Brings “Rogue” Liner Alert
PPS Warning About Non-Standard Equipment
The recent dramatic increase in training being carried out in decontamination procedures by fire and ambulance services and within the health service generally has led to a warning from leading decontamination equipment manufacturer, Professional Protection Systems, to those in charge of training to ensure that standard equipment is used.
Particularly important, where exercises are planned in connection with decontamination showers, is firstly that Trusts and Hospitals know the training liner is available instead of soiling the relatively expensive NBC liner and secondly to ensure that only the manufacturer’s training liner is used.
The function of the liner is to protect the shower unit from decontamination so it must fit perfectly and be made of the right material.

At a series of open days to be held at the company’s Milton Keynes headquarters on Sept 7, 13, 21,28, an opportunity to learn and get hands-on experience with the latest decontamination technology is being offered by Professional Protection Systems to both Management and Users.
According to Managing Director Mark Whitcher the event will be open to managers and personnel from fire brigades, ambulance services, hospital trusts and local authorities involved in this critical area.
“They don’t have to be customers of ours” he said “this is an invitation to the whole decontamination community as part of our need to build an ongoing creative dialogue with everybody involved in this critical sector. The only way we can do that is by ensuring that everybody knows exactly what there is available and to letting them get to see it and use it”.
The PPS open days will consist of two, two-hour events each day. The first will run from 10 until 12 and the second from two until four, PPS to provide a buffet lunch.

New PPS System To Keep Customers At Cutting Edge Of Decon Technology
The decontamination technology universe is a rapidly expanding one. In fact it is expanding so fast that the end users, both managers and practitioners, whether they be in ambulance, fire, emergency services, military or corporate operations, are finding it difficult to keep up with exactly what is available, according to one of the world’s biggest decontamination technology companies, Professional Protection Systems.
Managing Director Mark Whitcher says that PPS have discovered a growing “knowledge gap” amongst its customers in 60 countries about the equipment that is “Unless we close this gap our customers are going to find it hard to come up with the optimum solution to whatever problem they are addressing” says Whitcher. “Also they may not be getting best value for money”.
