Slash Resistant Clothing Can Help Improve The Safety of Prison And Correctional Officers
Written by: Robert Kaiser
PPSS Group’s CEO Robert Kaiser has once again highlighted his firm’s key objective to further improve the personal safety of prison and correctional officers, and cut resistant clothing must play a part he says.
Strongly believing that thoroughly field tested cut resistant clothing can make a significant difference to the security and well being of officers he has very recently written an article, titled “Cut Resistant Clothing Can Help Improve The Safety of Prison And Correctional Officers”: https://www.slash-pro.com/blog/23_Slash-Resistant-Clothing-Can-Effectively-Help.html
Recent news headlines back up his claim that slashing has become a regular occupational hazard for prison and correctional officers over the past few years.
The main purpose of slash resistant clothing
The main purpose of cut resistant clothing is to successfully reduce the risk of lacerations and also protect key arteries and blood vessels.
Attacks may be committed by skilled or trained inmates, who deliberately attack a vulnerable area to incapacitate the officer, and others may unintentionally slash limbs in a frantic attack.
The key objective is that cut resistant clothing foils such injury and keeps the wearer of such personal protective equipment (PPE) operational, unharmed and even more importantly alive.
Robert Kaiser said: “No matter how hard we try, we simply cannot eliminate their operational risks, but what we can do is continue our research and development and relentlessly explore all possible options to further improve the personal safety of those who serve our countries and protect us.”
