Community
Residents – The concern for terrorism continues to linger throughout
the world. Chemical weapons have been used on numbers of innocent
victims in the recent past. Experts forecast more
attacks of a similar nature in the near future. Protection of
yourself and your family is directly related to early detection of the
hazardous material. Activation of the HazMat Smart-Strip allows
people with no formal training or extensive resources to identify a problem
and act accordingly based on the product involved.
Industry
/ Corporate Professionals – Day in
and day out workers come in contact with items of an unknown origin.
In many cases it is unknown if the contents of packages are safe for
handlers. The concern always exists of careless or deliberate
packaging from the unknown. It is impossible to work in full chemical
protection and costly to purchase digital detection equipment.
The HazMat Smart-Strip enables employees to perform their work ensured that
detection of a foreign substance or chemical will increase their personal
safety and protect the company from further harm.
Police
Officers – Police
Officers are often placed in situation where they would have to assist in
evacuation and / or traffic control within an incident scene. Most
organizations do not outfit police officers with any type of respiratory
protection or chemical protective clothing for use
during these activities. With the use of HazMat Smart-Strip an officer
would quickly know if he is with an area of potential harm and either elect
to decontaminate or remove themselves from the area of harm.
Fire
Departments – Hazardous Materials Teams are equipped to monitor toxic
chemical but fire responders lack this ability due to the costs associated
with the equipment necessary. A HazMat Smart-Strip would be used for
each riding position on a fire apparatus and the event of
the crew encountering a potential hazardous environment would be donned by
placing the adhesive strip on the sleeve of the Firefighting Protective
Ensemble. If firefighters are involved with rescuing of victims they will
quickly be able to identify potential chemical agents that may be of harm
by looking for a color change.
EMS
- Many ambulance personnel are also not equipped to respond to chemical
emergencies. Most often these chemical exposures are dispatched to Rescue
Crews as medical type calls for service such as “Difficulty Breathing”
or “Man Passed Out”. If an ambulance crew suspects possible hazardous
materials involvement they can quickly place the
HazMat Smart-Strip on their uniform and stop in the event of a color
change. Once the strip is activated this allows for the EMS crew to safely
withdraw from the emergency scene and request additional assistance from a
Hazardous Materials Response Unit.
Hospital
Emergency Rooms – Often contaminated patients enter the emergency
room without being properly decontaminated. This puts
the entire emergency room at risk for cross contamination and potential
shutdown. The HazMat Smart-Strip can be used by the ER staff to provide a
safe way to ensure ER Staff safety and Health by recognizing contamination
early.
Hazardous
Materials Teams – The HazMat Smart-Strip can be used
by Hazardous Materials Teams that are working in a fully encapsulated
chemical protective ensemble to augment electronic monitoring. This is an
effective and inexpensive way for entry team personnel to quickly identify
if they have just entered an area that does have a concentration of
product.
Military
and Special Teams – Special Teams such as SWAT, FBI, Executive
Protection, and Military do not have electronic monitoring devices for each
agent or soldier. The HazMat Smart-Strip would be issued to
each team member allowing for instant identification of products within an
area and the need for decontamination or removal from the affected area.
Hazardous
Waste Workers – The HazMat Smart-Strip can be
used by Hazardous Waste Workers that are working in chemical protective
clothing to augment electronic monitoring. This is an effective and
inexpensive way for personnel to quickly identify if they have just entered
an area that does have a concentration of product.
