FIRST ON-SITE MAINTENANCE SERVICE FOR DECON EQUIPMENT - New PPS facility for fire and ambulance services is a ground breaker

For the first time a manufacturer of decontamination equipment is providing a dedicated mobile maintenance service to look after its customers’ equipment. Professional Protection Systems has launched the first of what will be a fleet of mobile workshops equipped and manned to carry out maintenance on mass decontamination showers as well as single units, their related accessories and PPE.

Under the terms of their contract, as suppliers of decontamination showers and related equipment and PPE to both the New Dimension Civil Resilience Group and the NHS and the UK’s ambulance services, PPS has to offer
  Maintenance On The Move
an on-site maintenance service but the company’s “Maintenance on the move” programme is considerably more than just a fulfillment of bare contractual obligations.

“We have recognised” says PPS MD Mark Whitcher “that there is a need for practitioners to devote their time to training on and using this relatively new technology and not to dilute it by worrying about maintenance problems. That’s our job”. The PPS mobile service not only carries out routine maintenance on site but can effect most repairs as well. The service also includes regular equipment audits to ensure that every component part of the set-up is ready for action. “This is vital with decontamination equipment” says Whitcher “because any defect, any failure can tip the balance between life and death”.

In the case of most other decontamination systems defective or damaged equipment is returned to the manufacturer to be repaired and replaced. This takes time and may leave a vital gap in the user’s state pf readiness. The PPS mobile unit enables equipment to be kept in a high state of readiness without it leaving the site.

Supplying the decontamination technologies and PPE to 50 countries PPS have developed highly sophisticated maintenance schedules for all of their considerable range of equipment and the “Maintenance on the move” programme will make these accessible to everybody who needs them.
