Firefighting is an extremely hazardous occupation. The potential for injury from burns, smoke inhalation and other related hazards, makes it essential for firefighters to supplement their training with high-quality personal protective equipment (PPE). The level of protection that firefighters require means that the PPE they use must meet the highest possible standards. CHARNAUD® fills this requirement with its CHARNAUD® FIRE-SAFE® range. Let’s look at this range and the products in it to find out why CHARNAUD® leads the way in firefighter protection in South African .
What Makes for the Best Firefighting Protection?
Firefighting gear should be permanently flame and heat resistant, have moisture-wicking qualities, and still be as comfortable and lightweight as possible. Aside from these basic qualities, firefighting Personal Protective Equipment/Clothing must also be manufactured according to a strict set of industry standards, preferably those set and regulated by an international body of high repute. At CHARNAUD®, we took all these key requirements into consideration, along with a few others, as we set out to design our CHARNAUD® FIRE-SAFE® product range.
