New toxin-resistant hood from Honeywell protects firefighters against hazardous substances
Innovative hood helps protect long-term health, safety of firefighters, who already face higher cancer risk from hazardous particulates, gases and toxins in smoke
Honeywell (NYSE: HON), the leading supplier of protective gear for firefighters and other emergency responders, has developed a new hood to better protect firefighters from the long-term health threats of hazardous substances produced when today’s building materials burn.
Honeywell’s new Life Guard Hood features an innovative design and fabrics that provide better blocking protection against hazardous particulates and toxins compared to traditional firefighter hoods. It also features a lighter, roomier fit that integrates with a firefighter’s self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and other turnout gear.
