ANP Maritime General Service Respirator training

The General Service Respirator evolution (GSR) respiratory protection mask was successfully built, fitted, repaired, and tested by ANP Maritime in collaboration with 3M Scott Safety for the Royal Saudi Naval Force.

 The GSR is an advanced respirator employed by the UK Armed Forces as part of their respiratory protection system because it provides greater protection against Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) hazards than other negative pressure respirators.

 "ANP is honoured to help the RSNF provide this important personal safety training session. ANP Maritime has successfully collaborated with our delivery partners to deliver a specialised DSAT-compliant course employing our ex-RN service teachers, adding significant value to the supply chain" Ray Thomson, director of maritime training, remarked.

 As part of a larger BAE Systems requirement, it is anticipated that the successful pilot course may result in more training packages from MCA-accredited training.

 Ethnographic study

We discovered other design factors in addition to respiratory protection through ethnographic studies. When wearing the mask, how much of their field of view is blocked? What degree of hearing do their commanding superiors have? Is the respirator restricting their movement or weighing them down? Can they maintain a high enough fluid intake to prevent dehydration? How will the GSR work with the vast array of current machinery?

 Wearer comfort

 The fastest, safest, and simplest filter replacements were among the design goals we set for the new General Service Respirator (GSR), which we achieved by giving Army, Air Force, and Naval troops the largest field of vision, even weight distribution, and most pleasant oronasal seal. High fluid-intake capacity, improved wearer comfort, and better speech transmission were built-in from the beginning.

 For individuals who would ultimately use the mask, it was critical to making sure that it was comfortable and wearable. In hazardous, life-threatening conditions, users would frequently need to wear this protective respiratory protection equipment for lengthy periods of time.

 Anthropometric design

To verify that the GSR performed just as well in the challenging field setting as it did in the laboratory, we used precise anthropometrics to develop an entirely new testing methodology. With a design that is more comfortable, user-friendly, and favoured by service people, the General Service Respirator continues to provide the finest protection available for our troops.

 Superior protection & comfort

Troops were provided with the highest levels of wearer comfort thanks to the development of an unrivalled suite of technology that included twin canisters, a single lens, a multiple-edge primary seal, low breathing resistance, an improved drinking system, an outstanding interface with Individual Protection Equipment (IPE), and a speech transmission system.

Pharmaceutical Exports The pharmaceuticals industry has become the largest global sector in the world’s economy. This industry has remained to be at the forefront of research, innovation, discovery, the development and pharmaceutical manufacturing as well as marketing of the medicines. The world pharmaceutical industry has played a major role in the world’s economy as most countries generate their revenues from pharmaceutical exports. Pharmaceutical exports Pharmaceutical exports have increased over the years due to a rise in chronic diseases, increased worldwide demand for medication from developing countries, an increasingly ageing population, and an environment that has become polluted. The medicine export business in the UK thrives due to the pharmaceutical export from Africa. Some drugs exported to emerging economies include brand and generic drugs like antimalarial tablets. Pneumonia in developing countries has remained to be the cause of many deaths. This calls for an o

Malaria Prevention Tips From ANP Pharma

  It is not always a risk to get infected with a disease, but getting malaria is pretty high if you are heading towards an affected area. Yes, that is very true, but you don’t need to worry about it because we have compiled some malaria prevention tips to keep yourself safe. How to Prevent Malaria? The best approach to preventing Malaria is following the ABCD technique. Awareness, Bite prevention, checking which antimalarial drugs should be taken, and the last one is diagnosis.   The first and foremost thing to do is check the destination you are heading to; this helps in knowing if malaria is one of the area’s problems to plan accordingly. The next is bite prevention. In every case, you should try avoiding getting bitten by a mosquito. Use repellents, mosquito nets, and try wearing clothes that cover your entire body, so there is no exposed part for the mosquito to attack. The third step is to check the antimalarial drugs that you should take. Always consult a doctor; they w

Why is antimalarial prophylaxis important?

Every year, around 300–500 million people contract malaria and about 3 million die, most of which are children who are under five years. In sheer numbers, malaria kills 3,000 children per day under the age of five. The total number of deaths readily exceeds that from AIDS. After Tuberculosis, Malaria is easily the world's largest parasitic disease, killing more and more people every day. As we know, Malaria is one of the oldest pathogens which is posing a threat to the human population since the birth of the agriculture. Antimalarial prophylaxis Even being such a potent disease on the face of the earth, there is no post-disease vaccine available for protection against malaria despite the decades of research. Antimalarial prophylaxis is one of the newly surfaced modes of protection against the Malaria which offers an alternative approach that provides reliable protection against malaria. Antimalarial prophylaxis offers protection against clinical attacks of malaria especi
