Powered respirator

With the HSE estimating around 4000 asbestos related cancer deaths in the UK each year, Scott Health & Safety has signalled a technological advance for mask mounted powered respirators with the launch of Phantom Vision.

The new product will provide greater comfort and ease of operation for users in any application requiring powered or non-powered full facemask protection, claims the company.

Combining a new lithium-ion battery, long-life brushless motor and electronics technology with the already popular Vision full facemask, the new Phantom Vision is a power assisted respirator which can be used in a wide variety of demanding workplace environments including asbestos removal and nuclear decommissioning.
