When the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence (UK MoD) assessed the changing capability requirements for CBRN individual protection they required development of a respirator that could attain previously unheard levels of protection. The UK MoD General Service Respirator (GSR) program was born and Scott Safety was selected as the design and manufacturing partner for this revolutionary technology development that delivers lower user burden, improved systems integration and simplicity of operation.The net result is the GSR technology suite delivering:-“A quantum leap in capability”(General Sir Richard Dannatt: Chief of the General Staff – September 2007)
EVOLUTION OF THE GSR –THE NEW SCOTT FRR
The “next generation” design features of the GSR were readily seen to offer a superior response to the increasingly stringent protection needs of the global civil responder community against CBRN threats. The Scott First Responder Respirator (FRR), a variant of the GSR that is approvable to worldwide regulatory standards, has been introduced to fill these capability gaps.Scott FRR takes GSR technologies and embodies them in a certified respiratory protection system designed for use with CBRN and industrial chemical filters with threaded (DIN40/STANAG4155) connections and offers unique levels of operational flexibility.
